While we like to think that our society gives everyone a fair chance to succeed and, crucially, move up the social ladder, in reality, children are to an astonishing degree bound by their parents and the class into which they are born. The children of disadvantaged parents typically achieve less financially and die younger than their peers who are born into better-off families. This book reveals how seemingly ordinary aspects of family life, as small as reading bedtime stories and as consequential as inherited income, come together to alter children's life chances and raise fundamental questions about social justice and opportunity.

Childhood looms large in our understanding of human life, as a phase through which all adults have passed. Childhood is foundational to the development of selfhood, the formation of interests, values and skills and to the lifespan as a whole. Understanding what it is like to be a child, and what differences childhood makes, are thus essential for any broader understanding of the human condition. The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Childhood and Children is an outstanding reference source for the key topics, problems and debates in this crucial and exciting field and is the first collection of its kind. Comprising over thirty chapters by a team of international contributors the Handbook is divided into five parts: Being a child; Childhood and moral status; Parents and children; Children in society; Children and the state. Questions covered include: What is a child? Is childhood a uniquely valuable state, and if so why? Can we generalize about the goods of childhood? What rights do children have, and are they different from adults' rights? What (if anything) gives people a right to parent? What role, if any, ought biology to play in determining who has the right to parent a particular child? What kind of rights can parents legitimately exercise over their children? What roles do relationships with siblings and friends play in the shaping of childhoods? How should we think about sexuality and disability in childhood, and about racialised children? How should society manage the education of children? How are children's lives affected by being taken into social care?
