Research and development period: nine months. Most common product faults: noise, mess, puking and mewling, irregular sleeping and eating patterns, amorality and irresponsibility. Economic productivity: almost zero in the developed world. Leading economic beneficiary of their desires: Walt Disney Inc. Chief virtues according to their owners: joy, innocence, love, the perpetuation of the gene pool. Chief demerits according to non-owners: lawlessness, refusal to obey adult commands, their growing global numbers. Ah, the darling little ones. According to UN estimates there are now 1.7 billion of them under the age of sixteen, nearly a third of the world's population. In thirty years there will be 2.1 billion. We will go on making them. This issue of Granta describes the rearing, loving, loathing and fearing of them, and evokes what it was like to be that lost personality in a vanished time, a child.
