Abstract
Este trabajo recoge datos e indicadores de carácter demográfico sobre los niños y los adolescentes a partir de las principales estadísticas producidas por organismos internacionales. El objetivo que aborda es doble. Por un lado, hacer un retrato a nivel mundial de la situación de la infancia y la adolescencia actual, destacando aquellos aspectos que, siempre desde una óptica demográfica, requieren una especial atención pues conforman procesos sociales que afectan de forma sustantiva a su modo y calidad de vida. Y por otro, mostrar a los investigadores de otros campos disciplinares, que los datos e indicadores demográficos sirven no solo para contextualizar algunos de estos procesos, sino también, para identificarlos y analizarlos, procurando un conocimiento útil de cara a las colaboraciones interdisciplinares que, muchas veces, son necesarias para la elaboración de propuestas de acción eficaces.
This work collects demographic data and indicators on children and adolescents from the main statistics produced by international organizations. There is a double objective. On the one hand, make a worldwide portrait of the current situation of childhood and adolescence, highlighting those aspects that (from a demographic perspective), require special attention because they form social processes that affect their mode and quality of life. And on the other, to show researchers from other disciplinary fields that demographic data and indicators serve to contextualize some of these processes, but also, to identify and analyze them, providing useful knowledge for interdisciplinary collaborations. Many times, these collaborations are necessary for the elaboration of effective action proposals.
