Possible Indicators of Children’s Well-Being

Any effort to monitor and measure children’s well-being is contingent on finding and using the right measures for the task. As a result of earlier work, it seemed appropriate to contribute to this ongoing effort by opening up new domains and concentrating on aspects of well-being beyond survival and positive development of children (see Chapters 3 & 4). Thus, in this chapter, we suggest lists of indicators as an addition to and not a replacement for existing domains and indicators of children’s well-being.
