Albino Prada, Patricio Sanchez-Fernandez ·
Summary
Written by AI, not yet AICS's view · claude-sonnet-5-5The work builds a multidimensional indicator to describe the situation of children at country level around the world. It combines the most relevant dimensions and indicators into one index. It identifies which aspects have the greatest impact on child well-being and gives an international ranking of countries. It also adds a gender perspective to the analysis.
Key points
- A multidimensional indicator was developed to synthesize the most relevant dimensions and indicators of child well-being at country level.
- The results identify the aspects with the greatest impact on infant well-being.
- The ranking allows comparison among countries.
- The ranking highlights differences in how countries transform wealth into infant well-being.
- Incorporating gender into the analysis provides a new and relevant perspective.
Limitations
Only the abstract is available, so the specific indicators, data sources, countries covered, methods and numerical results are not known. It is a cross-country index and does not evaluate any intervention.
Abstract
AbstractThis work aims to understand the situation of children within a particular territory and assess the different dimensions of this scenario. To this end we develop a multidimensional indicator to synthesize the most relevant dimensions and indicators around the world at a country level. Our results not only identify the aspects exerting the greatest impact on infant well-being, but also provide a full international comparison. The ranking obtained allows us to compare among countries, thus highlighting differences in the transformation of wealth into infant well-being. Moreover, incorporating gender into the analysis provides a new and relevant perspective.
