Children's Subjective Well-Being als neueres Konstrukt fragt aktuell, was Kinder unter Wohlbefinden verstehen. In entsprechenden Forschungsprojekten wird hierzu die Kinderperspektive im Zuge des Paradigmenwechsels der new social childhood studies in den Fokus gerückt, um Kinder als handlungsfähige Subjekte anzuerkennen. Dabei bleiben in der Tendenz Faktoren wie Klasse, Geschlecht, Ethnizität, Körper oder Generation unterbelichtet, denen Kinder aber im Kontext sozialer Ungleichheit ausgesetzt sind. Dieser Beitrag schlägt vor, mittels des Capability Approachs, soziale Ungleichheit mitzudenken und für die empirische Untersuchung des Children's Subjective Well-Being fruchtbar zu machen. Anhand eines empirischen Beispiels werden heuristische Fragen entwickelt, um Children's Subjective Well-Being aus einer ungleichheitstheoretischen Perspektive zu erschliessen.... view less
