FCD CWI 1 The Foundation for Child Development Child and Youth Well-Being Index (CWI) 1975 to 2005 with Projections for 2006 A Social Indicators Project Supported by the Foundation for Child Development New American Foundation Presentation, April 4, 2007 Kenneth C. Land, Ph.D., Project Coordinator Duke University

FCD CWI 2 What is the CWI? It is a composite measure of trends in the quality of life, or well-being, of America’s children and young people since It consists of 28 social indicators organized in seven quality-of-life domains.

FCD CWI 3 What Does the CWI Tell Us? Did overall child and youth well-being in the United States improve or deteriorate over the last two generations? By how much? In which domains or areas of social life? For which age groups? For boys and girls equally? For which racial and ethnic groups? Did disparities between groups increase or decrease?

FCD CWI 4 Methods of CWI Construction The CWI places 28 national level indicators into seven quality-of-life domains –Family Economic Well-Being –Health –Safety/Behavioral Concerns –Educational Attainment –Community Connectedness –Social Relationships (with Family and Peers) –Emotional/Spiritual Well-Being

FCD CWI 5 Each of the 28 indicators uses annual time series data from vital statistics and sample surveys Each indicator is indexed by percentage change from the base year, The base year is assigned a value of 100. –A value greater than 100 in subsequent years means the social condition measured has improved. A value less than 100 means the social condition has deteriorated.

FCD CWI 6 The 28 indicators are grouped together into seven domains to construct domain-specific summary well-being indices. –Within these summary indices, each indicator is equally weighted. The seven domain indices are combined into the Child and Youth Well-being Index (CWI). –Each domain is equally weighted in the construction of the CWI.

FCD CWI 17 Conclusions  The CWI shows that children and youth in the United States are doing slightly better today than in  But, progress in child and youth well-being has stalled.  The gap in overall quality of life between white, African American, and Hispanic children narrowed between the mid-90s and That progress, too, has stalled. Disparities among the groups remain.  We are doing better in areas of social life that reflect cultural values and over which parents and community institutions can exercise some influence and control.  America’s children are doing less well in areas that have to do with policy and the role of government.
