Spanish term or phrase: contribuir a la autogestión
Buenas tardes,

Tengo una duda con la siguiente expresión:

**Contribuir a la autogestión** de las estructuras comunitarias en función del bienestar de la niñez

My try:
**Help** community structures/groups **become self-sustainable** from a child well-being perspective

Por el contexto, estoy traduciendo "contribuir a la autogestión" como "Help SB/ST become self-sustainable", y aunque no es parte de mi consulta sigue una parte algo confusa "en funcion del..."

Pienso que en vez de "en función de" debería decir "considerando"

The words “welfare” and “wellbeing” have two very different meanings in economics.

The most familiar meaning to the general public in the United States is that Welfare refers to a collection of government programs such as food stamps and Medicare, usually intended to help the poor.

However, economists more often use the word “welfare” in a very different sense–as a synonym for wellbeing. Welfare or wellbeing refer to an overall condition emphasizing happiness and contentment, though also including one’s standard of living in financial or material ways.

I'm posting on the basis that I think self-determination and self-management are roughly synonymous.

I perceive "welfare" as being the longer-established, standard term, whereas nowadays I associate "well-being" with post new-age faddy things like "mindfulness" or "hygge"...

Example sentence(s):
  • self-determination and its relevance for Maori child welfare
