The Category «Childhood» as an Interdisciplinary Concept in the Social Sciences and Humanities and Branches of Law

The relevance of the research topic is that in jurisprudence, less attention is paid to childhood as a socio-legal phenomenon. This is justified by the fact that there is no comprehensive legal approach, although research is underway on childhood problems in various fields of social and humanitarian knowledge, theoretical material has been studied and some quotations from scientists are given. The goal is to form a holistic scientific understanding of childhood. The task is to reveal the content of childhood as an interdisciplinary category in the social sciences and humanities and branches of law. The essence and content of childhood are revealed. It is noted that there is currently no holistic understanding of the interdisciplinary approach of childhood. Gaps have been identified regarding the nature of childhood in the science of constitutional law. The scientific novelty of this article is that, being a socio-legal category, childhood was not fully considered as an interdisciplinary legal category, which, in our opinion, is the value of the conducted research.
