Executive Summary Chapter 1. Summary of Key Findings Chapter 2. Comparative Child Well-being across the OECD Chapter 3. Social Spending across the Child's Life Cycle Chapter 4. From Conception to Kindergarten Chapter 5. Child Well-being and Single Pa
Summary: This OECD report reviews a range of policies designed to improve child well-being in OECD countries and associated child well-being outcomes. The report builds on earlier OECD work on families. Using a wide range of data sources, the report constructs and analyses indicators of child wellbeing across six areas: material well-being, housing and environment, education, health and safety, risk behaviours, and the quality of school life. The report looks closely at how much countries are spending on children. It also provides a detailed examination of countries' policies for children under three years of age, the impact of single parenthood on children and the effect of inequalities across generations. The report shows no one OECD country performs well in all areas and that every country could do more to improve children's lives.
