Child Well-being: A Feasible Concept?

Abstract

Child well-being is a concept that is being adopted by child welfare professionals, aided by the recent development of scales to measure well-being among children. Yet, a review of the literature related to the concept reveals a lack of consensus on the meaning of the term. Given the tremendous effect of variations in values that influence the definition of child well-being, and the potential for misuse of the concept, the author questions its practicality.
