The Foundation for Child Development (FCD) Child and Youth Well-Being Index Project at Duke University issues an annual comprehensive measure of how children are faring in the United States. The Child Well-Being Index (CWI) is based on a composite of 28 Key Indicators of wellbeing that are grouped into seven Quality-of-Life/Well-Being Domains, including economic wellbeing, health, safety, educational attainment, community connectedness, social relationships and emotional/spiritual well-being. This year’s CWI is an updated measure of trends over the 32-year period from 1975 to 2007, with projections for 2008.
