Abstract
Socialization is conceptualized as a contextual, interwoven process, in which children grow up within dynamic social contexts. This chapter offers a sociological critique on the ways in which the neoliberal restructuring of society and its resulting inequality interfere with and influence agents of socialization (e.g., parents, schools) and also imprint on child development and socialization. Global social changes have affected child socialization patterns in a multitude of ways. The individualization of social problems underpins the politicization of parenting, which relies on an assumed causal relationship between parenting, child socialization, and future outcomes with good parenting being key to upward social mobility. It is reasonable to think that children's well-being mirrors the social and economic conditions in their life. The relationship between well-being, mental health, and poverty is strong and far from being resolved.
