UNICEF Report Card 11 can fuel discussions about child and youth wellbeing
The UNICEF Report Card 11 tracks the progress of children in affluent countries. Canada ranked 17th out of 29 countries and this position hasn’t changed since their last report, ten years ago. National research supports the Halton data, confirming the positive progress on indicators of child and youth wellbeing but also highlighting where more work is needed. The UNICEF Report Card 11 is a resource that can help contribute to our discussions about how to reach higher standards, improve service and program planning and work together to change policies.
