“幸福”是儿童生活研究中的一个关键概念，因为它有可能以整体、情境化和纵向的方式将儿童经历的客观、主观和主体间维度联系起来。因此，幸福是 Young Lives 使用的核心概念之一，该项目为期 15 年（2000 年至 2015 年），追踪埃塞俄比亚、秘鲁、越南和安得拉邦（印度）贫困背景下成长的 12,000 名儿童的生活（参见 http://www.younglives.org.uk）。本文探讨了 Young Lives 所使用的一系列方法，以在与贫困、特定风险和保护过程相关的一系列儿童生活经历的背景下捕捉儿童福祉的各个方面。它回顾了以儿童为中心的方法的文献以及在四个研究国家试点三种核心定性方法的最新经验。该论文报告了一种以儿童为中心的方法论的发展，但也承认每个儿童都嵌入在社会和经济关系网络中。
'Wellbeing' is a key concept in the study of children's lives over time, given its potential to link the objective, subjective, and inter-subjective dimensions of their experiences in ways that are holistic, contextualized and longitudinal. For this reason wellbeing is one of the core concepts used by Young Lives, a 15-year project (2000-2015) that follows the lives of 12,000 children growing up in the context of poverty in Ethiopia, Peru, Vietnam and Andhra Pradesh (India) (see http://www.younglives.org.uk). This paper examines a selection of methods being used by Young Lives to capture aspects of child wellbeing in the context of a range of children's life experiences related to poverty, specific risks and protective processes. It draws on a review of the literature on child-focused methods and on recent experiences piloting three core qualitative methods in the four study countries. The paper reports the development of a methodology that is child-centred, but also acknowledges that every child is embedded within a network of social and economic relationships.
