About this data
This dataset contains key internationally comparable indicators on children’s well being outcomes, a range of additional context indicators on important drivers of child well being, and child relevant public policies. The dataset is built using the latest available data from OECD databases and a range of leading international child surveys and data collection programmes. Indicators are selected based on a multi-dimensional and forward looking approach to child well-being, centred on the idea that children should be able to both enjoy a “good” positive childhood in the here and now, and have the opportunity to develop skills and abilities that set them up well for the future. While the data look to cover the well-being of children of all ages, limitations in data availability mean that most indicators focus on those in middle childhood and adolescence. This dataset represents a selection of headline indicators from the OECD Child Well-being Data Portal, a tool for policy makers and the public to monitor countries’ efforts to promote child well being. It is built on the OECD's Child Well-being Measurement Framework as set out in the OECD's 2021 report Measuring What Matters for Child Well-being and Policies.
