Journal Submission Guidelines

The STRATI Journal of Child Research aims to focus on policy oriented theoretical and empirical research papers related to economic behaviour related to children, child health, and child economic and social well being. The analysis of the impact of public policy on the well-being of children and the economics of children’s issues are emerging area of interest for policymakers. The journal invites contributions from academicians, researchers, and practitioners from across many different fields, including labour economics, public economics, industrial organization, econometrics, and development economics with focus on a diverse set of issues related to the well-being of children.

The papers should generally be 6000-8000 words with abstract of not more than 200 words, though more substantial papers will be considered. The contributions to STRATI Journal of Child Research reflect the interdisciplinary emphasis, which is fundamental to the journal. The papers will be double-blind refereed using an appropriate cross-section of reviewers drawn from the target interests. The journal aims for a turn-around time of three months from submission to publication to ensure rapid dissemination and dynamic discussion of ideas and results. The Editor, therefore, welcomes early contact prior to submission of manuscripts with, for example, an abstract. Book reviews are also included.

The STRATI Journal of Child Research is an interdisciplinary, peer reviewed, international journal covering policy and decision-making relating to children well-being in the broadest sense. The contributions of researchers on intergenerational linkages between parent and child, the impact of early life circumstances on later child outcomes, fertility and family structure, child health, children in developing economies, public policies (particularly child care and preschool) and child welfare, risky behaviour by and around youths, and education are invited.

The areas covered, and their inter-relationships in informing decision-making and policy, therefore include intergenerational linkages and well-being of children, fertility decisions and family structure, child mental health and delinquency, health and public insurance policies towards children, welfare of children in developing economies, policy interventions and intended or unintended consequences for child development, household income and child poverty, risky behaviours, criminal decisions and behaviours, and economics of education.
