IGCSE Sociology Unit 2 – Culture, identity and Socialization Practice Test

This item is about how a society prioritizes the welfare and development of its youngest members. A child-centered society places high value on children, dedicating time, money, and policy attention to their well-being, education, safety, and overall development. It describes the orientation of social institutions toward children, not just the status of being a child or a set of beliefs. The other terms don’t capture that social focus: adulthood refers to a life stage, childhood to the phase itself, and beliefs to shared ideas rather than the way a society organizes around children. So the best description is child-centered.
