"What about the children?" is an oft-used phrase that reflects the concern we all share for their well-being. Changing family composition and work arrangements have transformed early childcare in recent decades, and Statistics Canada has been tracking these developments.
This month, the StatCan Blog features a research article written by Dafna Kohen, assistant director of the Health Analysis Division. This post provides an overview of past, current, and planned Statistics Canada surveys about children and offers important insights on factors that can affect a child's well-being and development.
How are Canadian children faring? It all comes down to several factors, including access to affordable child care, household income, the quality of the care received by the child and the homes and communities in which children live.
