Sebastian Kurtenbach als Gast im littlebetterclub

In the organizer's words:

Growing up in an ageing society

The ageing society is creating two new minorities: Children are becoming a minority in the population and parents of minors are becoming a minority among eligible voters.

This is why there is a general lack of awareness of the current transformation of childhood: the major social challenges of migration, poverty and digitalization are fundamentally changing childhood. Children are in educational institutions earlier and earlier in their lives and for longer and longer periods every day. Institutions must therefore not only overcome the challenges of migration, digitalization and child poverty, but also increasingly replace parts of family life - and no longer just supplement it. However, a large number of studies show that they are not properly set up for this.

What do these social imbalances mean for young people and therefore for the future of this country? And how can the needs of children and young people be taken into account in the long term?

In the littlebetterclub, we talk to Sebastian Kurtenbach about possible solutions and exchange views with Sebastian Kurtenbach, born 1987 in Cologne, Professor of Political Science at Münster University of Applied Sciences and co-author of the book: Kinder - Minderheit ohne Schutz - Aladin El-Mafaalani, Sebastian Kurtenbach, Klaus Peter Strohmeier | Kiepenheuer & Witsch.
