N2  - This Report Card draws upon 40 separate indicators relevant to children's lives and children's rights to provide a comprehensive assessment of the lives and well-being of children and young people in 21 nations of the industrialised world. Rather than using income poverty as a proxy measure for overall child well-being in the OECD countries, it attempts to measure and compare child well-being under six different headings or dimensions: material well-being, health and safety, education, peer and family relationships, behaviours and risks, and young people's own subjective sense of well-being. In terms of material well-being, New Zealand was ranked 16th out of 24 developed countries, and for health and safety of children it was ranked 24th, only one from the bottom. New Zealand is not represented in all areas of the report because of a lack of data. Therefore it could not be given an overall ranking. The authors conclude that the report is an initial attempt at a multi-dimensional overview of child well-being, best regarded as a work in progress and in need of improved definitions and better data
