Social change and human development: concept and results

Divided into four parts, the book explores the major socio-political and technological changes that have taken place around the world - from post- from therapid upheavals in 1990s Europe to the gradual changes in parts of East Asia - and explains how these developments interplay with human development across the lifespan. Human Development and Social Change is a useful resource for students and researchers involved in all areas of human development, including developmental psychology, sociology and education.
