The measuring and monitoring children's well-being is of growing
importance to policymakers and those who strive to improve the
lives of children everywhere. In the last decade, public attention
has centered on children, a development driven by decreasing
fertility in the most developed countries of the world and the
postindustrial emphasis on human capital development. These
developments position children at the center of the future capacity
of a nation or region. Children have increasingly been identified
as subjects with rights and entitlements of their own, as
illustrated by the U. N. Convention on the Rights of the Child
(CRC), which emphasizes a child's right to develop his or her
capacities. The CRC represents a milestone both in the
understanding of children and in offering principles and guidelines
for policies. The rights underscored by the convention require
evidence on children's well-being and theories or models for
understanding their evolving capacities and development. The right
to develop one's capacities illustrates a complexity of analyzing
children's well-being: the analysis must encapsulate both the
current standard of living and the potential for growth and future
fulfillment arising from present conditions. Of course, systematic
statistics on children have existed for a long time. However, new
development in data and analytic resources and growing interest in
childhood among social scientists have combined to advance child
well-being to the forefront of research.
