Child Wellbeing in England, Scotland and Wales: Comparisons and variations
Authored by Lucas Pedace
There has been an impassioned debate about children’s wellbeing in Britain since a 2007 UNICEF report on the subject put the UK at the bottom of a list of 21 rich countries. In our report, we use data from the 2005 Families and Children Study (FACS) to look at England, Scotland and Wales, and compare income and wellbeing indicators in all three countries.
