| dc.description.abstract | This study aimed to explore factors that expose children to social vulnerability in Atlantis. The literature covered in this study revealed a gap in terms of the realization of children’s well-being in a disadvantaged community. The aim of this study was unlocked by three questions which were explored to understand; firstly, ‘what are the factors that expose children from disadvantaged communities to social vulnerability in Atlantis, Cape Town?; secondly, ‘what are some factors that impede with human capabilities in a disadvantaged environment, stagnate a child’s psychosocial development and their human capital’ and lastly ‘how can the effectiveness of initiatives that aim at improving the circumstances of vulnerable children in Atlantis be assessed to ensure that they respond to the challenges faced by children? | en_US |
