The Well-Being of Children in the UK

Now in its fourth edition, this is the classic assessment of the state of child well-being in the United Kingdom.

This edition has been updated to review the latest evidence, examining the outcomes for children of the impact of the economic crisis and austerity measures since 2008. It draws together a vast amount of robust empirical evidence and includes intra-UK and international comparisons. Edited by a highly regarded expert in the field, each chapter covers a different domain of child well-being, including health, wellbeing, housing and education.

This is an invaluable resource for academics, students, practitioners and policy makers concerned with child welfare and wellbeing.
