Dr Sabri Sulaiman is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Anthropology and Sociology, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Malaya. During his master's degree, his research focused on the intersection of socioeconomic disadvantage, social deprivation, and the well-being of children from low-income families. During his PhD, he examined how poverty and homelessness influence deficit needs and behavioural outcomes among vulnerable children. Building on this foundation, his broader research investigates how social stratification, socioeconomic processes within families, and institutional inequalities shape well-being outcomes from early childhood to old age. Dr Sabri's research niche lies in the Sociology of Children, Families and Vulnerability. Drawing on the sociology of children, families and vulnerability, his work examines how social structures, family institutions, policies, and welfare systems shape childhood, family life, health, well-being, and life chances across diverse social contexts. He is particularly interested in how poverty, social stratification, social exclusion, and institutional inequalities produce and reproduce disparities in children's development, family well-being, and opportunities over the life course. Through applied sociological research, he develops evidence to inform governance and intervention strategies that strengthen child and family well-being and promote more equitable and socially sustainable societies. Using comparative and global sociological perspectives, he explores how families, communities, governments, and global institutions respond to contemporary social challenges affecting children and vulnerable groups in
