What is it about?
The paper attempts to explore the general nature of the national child and young people policy in Latvia. It has a threefold aim, namely, to explore the institutional coverage for children and youth policy, to give insight in legal framework of the children and youth policy and to analyse the main obstacles for the implementation of children and youth policy at national and municipal level.

Why is it important?
At present, there is no equivalent data source available to researchers to comparatively analyse the well-being of children as they grow up and therefore to develop policies to improve their well-being. 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.
Perspectives
The longitudinal research on children and young people well-being will enable the identification of transition periods and turning points relevant to policy and will help to detect important periods for policy intervention. Moreover, it will help to identify important issues in high impact policy areas, including, school, education and learning. To address child well-being in an EU context, firstly, education and training policies (in particular in relation to early school leaving, early childhood education) should be examined.
