| Resumen: |
To design, implement and monitor effective child well-being policies, policy-makers need data that better capture children s lives, measure what is important to them and detect emerging problems and vulnerabilities early on. Despite improvements in recent decades, there are still important gaps in both national and cross-national child data. Countries can achieve progress if the right actions are taken. Measuring What Matters for Child Well-being and Policies lays the groundwork for improved child well-being measurement and better data to inform better child well-being policies. It outlines an “aspirational” framework for child well-being measurement, setting out which aspects of children s lives should be measured, and how, to better monitor child well-being. It also outlines priorities for child data development and identifies key data gaps. |
