At the beginning of the 1960s, Swedish researchers started a sociological study of all children born in Stockholm in 1953, Project Metropolitan. This book describes the project’s at times dramatic history, where issues of personal integrity and the role of social sciences were heavily debated. These discussions were fueled by the rapid and far-reaching digitalization in society at large and also within social sciences. As such, Project Metropolitan came to symbolize the benefits and potential risks related to an expanding body of research based on large groups of individuals and multiple register data sources. At the outset, the project’s founders sought to answer the following question: “Why do some get on better in life than others?” One of the main aims of the project was to study the long-term impact of conditions in childhood. The book therefore also includes an updated presentation of the main findings, as they have been conveyed in over 160 publications to date. These publications cover a wide array of topics and phenomena such as social mobility and education, substance abuse and crime, health and ill-health, peer influences and family relations, and adult lives of adopted children. Today Project Metropolitan is known as the “Stockholm Birth Cohort Multigenerational Study (SBC Multigen)” and is still in full vigor. From its original group of 15,000 children, the study has become multi-generational by adding data about their parents, siblings, children, nieces and nephews. As they approach their late 60s, it will also be possible to follow these “children” into retirement and old-age. In the concluding chapter the author discusses some of the challenges contemporary social research is facing. What are the current threats to academic freedom and what opportunities do the unique data registers in countries like Sweden provide?

“…Esta intención incluso se denota desde la etapa escolar en el mejoramiento del desempeño académico de los Scouts en comparación con aquellos que no lo son, observando que al confrontar las calificaciones se encuentra una gran diferencia entre estos dos grupos (Asensio-Ramon et al, 2020;Kassman, 2017). Pero la calidad académica no es suficiente para la formación de futuros profesionales; también es necesario el fortalecimiento de otros factores reconocidos para desenvolverse con éxito en los contextos educativos o laborales, como son la responsabilidad (Saneka & Prest, 2019;Sepúlveda, 2015), las habilidades para la vida, el comportamiento adecuado, la capacidad de liderazgo y la resolución de problemas (Al-Safty, 2016;Hershberg et al, 2015;Rubat du Mérac, 2015;Terrazas, 2015).…”

De acuerdo con la participación en los scouts, ha surgido el siguiente interrogante: ¿Cuáles son las áreas del desarrollo personal de los integrantes del movimiento Scout que se fortalecen al participar en esa organización? Para resolver estas preguntas, se tuvo como objetivo determinar, desde unabúsqueda sistemática de la literatura, la influencia que tiene en sus integrantes el pertenecer a los Scouts de acuerdo con lo reportado en las investigaciones. Por lo tanto, como método se optó por realizar una metasíntesis que da cuenta de una investigación sistemática que busca integrar o comparar los resultados de estudios, a través de una síntesis de los datos cualitativos y los hallazgos descriptivos cuantitativos; se tuvieron en cuenta investigaciones entre los años 2014-2020 obtenidas de doce bases de datos electrónicas. Como resultado se logró detectar ocho áreas: sensibilidad social y ambiental, cuidado y fortalecimiento de sí mismo, lazos fraternos, empoderamiento para la inclusión social y la diversidad, preparación para el futuro, formación del carácter, estimulación cognitiva y habilidades emocionales. De lo anterior se logró concluir que el escultismo puede fortalecer algunas áreas de los niños y jóvenes participantes, pero los estudios no dan cuenta de indicadores de medida sobre estos fortalecimientos.
