Why is it important?
At present, there is no equivalent data source available to researchers to comparatively analyze the well-being of children as they grow up and therefore to develop policies to improve their well-being.
Perspectives
The H2020 programme project “The European Cohort Development Project” (ECDP) will create the specification for a European Research Infrastructure that will provide, over the next 25 years, comparative longitudinal survey data on child and young people well-being. The project is built on work carried out in the FP7 project Measuring Youth Well-Being (MYWeB), which had provided the proof of concept for the development of a Europe wide longitudinal survey of child and youth well-being in regard to: (1) desirability among stakeholder groups; (2) technical do-ability in relation to questionnaire surveys of children as young as seven years old; (3) policy relevance in regard to the evidence needs for policy development in the area of children, families and education; (4) policy benefits weighed against the infrastructural costs.
