Measuring the well-being of children – Key National Indicators 2010
A recent edition of the America’s Children: Key National Indicators of Well-Being report, published each year since 1997 by the Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics, presents updated results with regards to the well-being of children and families living in the USA.
The report covers several children and youth well-being domains such as: family and social environment, economic circumstances, healthcare, physical environment and safety, behavior, education, and health. Its purpose is to provide statistical information on children and families in an easy-to-use format in order to stimulate discussion among data providers, policy makers and members of the public (The Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics, 2010).
