Focusing on the often-overlooked role of children in various cultures, this book challenges the dominant WEIRD perspective in childhood studies. It highlights the significance of children's contributions to family economies throughout history, emphasizing their labor as a critical aspect of their development and identity. By synthesizing diverse anthropological research, it explores two main themes: the learning processes involved in work and the relationship between children's growth and their roles as workers, aiming to broaden understanding in the field.
