A New Ethic for Children.

Verstegen, Deborah A.

Journal for a Just and Caring Education, v4 n4 p393-417 Oct 1998

Discusses worldwide economic and sociological dimensions of children's policy. Economic instability, budgetary policy changes, and social shifts have impoverished many children and severely constrained their life prospects. Proposes a New Ethic providing a "first call for children" in national and international policy, modeled after the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. (72 references) (MLH)
