February 04, 2013
World Family Map 2013

Excerpted from a Child Trends press release:

For the first time, data are available on family well-being across high- and low-income countries around the world. The World Family Map report summarizes a large body of data on family strengths and challenges, as well as important educational outcomes for children and youth. The report explores the social, economic, familial, and cultural factors that tend to strengthen or undermine family life.

The World Family Map focuses a global spotlight on the roles that families play in promoting social, physical, economic, and psychological well-being for children, adults, and communities. Child Trends partnered with scholars at the University of Virginia and the University of Maryland, and with universities and think tanks around the world, to track central indicators of family well-being.
