United States of America (USA)

The Foundation for Child Development (FCD) in the 1970s initiated the now widespread use of social indicators to measure child well-being at the federal and state levels. In 2004, the Foundation released the first Child Well-Being Index (CWI) – a measure that combines separate sources of national data about American children into one scientifically-based, easily understood summary. This summary both reflects the overall well-being of children in the U.S. and measures how trends in specific areas of well-being have changed each year since 1975.
