Child well-being module
• As part of the Family database
• Three comparative sections
– Child policies (spending and structures)
– Contextual indicators (family and community)
– Child well-being outcome indicators
• Country specific sections
– Governance issues, policy changes, yet
incomparable information
– National specific data collections
The proposed joint structure
Hosting data in a single database will mean the
same standards / methods are applied, and
possible analyses are extended
Plans for the CWBM
• Not a one-off project
• Stage specific information
• Both theory / empirics driven
– Explanatory notes will be provided
– Gaps to be identified
• All data will be quality tested
– Meta data
– Validation testing / systematic bias
– Guidance for appropriate use
The CWBM will use a matrix structure for
comparable information
Plans for the CWBM

• Stage specific information
• Both theory / empirics driven
– Explanatory notes will be provided

– Meta data
– Validation testing / systematic bias
– Guidance for appropriate use
Outputs from the CWBM…
• ST: Online reporting by indicator
• Feed into upcoming work (DBFF)
– Make better use of the qualitative info and
country specific info
• MT: Working papers or short reports
– By child age / by country / by topic
• LT: Provide a foundation for regular
reporting on CWB in OECD countries
Incorporating the ECEC
network information
• Mainly in early childhood inputs and
contexts
– Information on staffing levels / provision by
child or family attributes
• In country specific sections
– ECEC Governance information
– Recent ECEC policy developments
– Unique national data collections and
evaluations
Relevant future work
• Doing Better for Families
– Extend and refine the social expenditure analysis
– Look at evidence for the well-being aspects for
children from ECEC
– Review schooling systems and interaction with
out-of-school care
• Child survey review
– to recommend best practice
– Identify gaps in the data / in child coverage
