 child well-being and social justice in a timely manner.
The report takes forward the multidimensional understanding of child well-being presented in Report Card 7. It brings two complementary perspectives and technical approaches to examining disparities in child well-being within a similar international comparative framework. The analysis will include a selection of the child well-being indicators that were included in Report Card No. 7, in relation to available data. The gap analysis between the situation of children in the bottom quintile and the average will be standardized across the countries to facilitate comparison. Countries will be ranked in terms of ‘fairness’, according to a summary of the different inequality measures, as a basis to discuss the possible explanatory factors and to identify potential policy responses in different settings.
