Objective: The special issue focuses on family environment and child socialization in sub-Saharan Africa. A main challenge is to go beyond the traditional family-network approach, centred on the household and the biological parents, and to consider the diversity of contexts and players involved in a child’s upbringing. }, URL = {https://www.demographic-research.org/special/26/44/}, eprint = {https://www.demographic-research.org/special/26/44/s26-44.pdf} }
