This book explores the broad view on child well-being and the
quality of life research. It starts with a discussion of the origin
of the social indicator movement and a review of literature on the
concepts of quality of life, (subjective) well-being and
resilience. It then discusses the force of culture on child
development, and shows how two prototypical environments favor
either the independent or interdependent self-model. After an
exploration of the shifts and changes in the child well-being
indicator movement and trends of child well-being measurements, the
book turns to research on Tsunami-affected children. The first part
of the study gives these children and their caregivers a voice,
formulating in their words what constitutes child well-being for
them in the given circumstances. The concepts provided are
processed in detail, contrasted, and then made into indicators. The
second part of the study describes the introduction of a child
well-being index based on these indicators. The book ends with four
main conclusions reflected in a theoretical model of contextualized
child well-being indicators.
