From Child Welfare to Children Well-Being: The Child Indicators Perspective

  • Chapter
From Child Welfare to Child Well-Being

Part of the book series: Children’s Well-Being: Indicators and Research ((CHIR,volume 1))

Abstract

Al Khan was among the first to study children’s welfare in a comparative way and to monitor the status of children over time. As early as the 1940th Kahn was involved in one of the pioneering efforts to study the “state of children” in New York through his collaboration with the Citizen Committee for Children (Ben-Arieh, 2006). Similarly, some 40 years ago, Al and Sheila Kamerman were the first to examine child welfare across developed countries (Kamerman & Kahn, 1978).
