For the last 20 years, the Innocenti Report Card series has led the
way in comparing children's well-being across rich countries.
Report Card 16 develops this further through a multi-level approach
to show that children's well-being is influenced by children's own
actions and relationships, by the networks and resources of their
caregivers, and by public policies and the national context. This
approach is aligned with the 1989 United Nations Convention on the
Rights of the Child, in that it recognises the responsibilities of
governments, families and communities to help realize children's
rights and promote their well-being
This publications examines what kind of family and parenting
support works, under what conditions and for whom in order to
promote child well-being in different national contexts. Case
studies are included from Belarus, Chile, China, Croatia, England,
Jamaica, The Philippines, South Africa, and Sweden.
This report focuses on educational inequalities in 41 of the
world's richest countries, all of which are members of the
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
and/or the European Union (EU). Using the most recent data
available, it examines inequalities across childhood - from access
to preschool to expectations of post-secondary education - and
explores in depth the relationships between educational inequality
and factors such as parents' occupations, migration background, the
child's gender and school characteristics. The key feature of the
report is the league table, which summarizes the extent of
educational inequalities at preschool, primary school and secondary
school levels..
