Ken Land describse a case study of an effort to which we in the social indicators/ quality-of-life research community should devote more attention in the future. I and my research team are engaged in an ongoing study that tracks changes in a number of Key Indicators of child and youth well-being in the U.S. and corresponding Domain-Specific Indices and an overall Composite Index, the Child and Youth Well-Being Index (CWI). This study, sponsored by the Foundation for Child Development in New York City, produces an annual report on the CWI to the Foundation.
