Description:

The Children in North America Project aims to highlight the conditions and well-being of children and youth in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Through a series of indicator reports, the project hopes to build a better understanding of how our children are faring and the opportunities and challenges they face looking to the future.

Growing Up in North America: Child Well-Being in Canada, the United States & Mexico is the introduction to our report series on North American children. In this report, we present a basic demographic profile of children in the region and introduce three different dimensions of child well-being&emdash;health and safety, economic security, and capacity and citizenship&emdash;all of which will be explored in greater detail in subsequent indicator reports.
