Australian Institute of Health and
Welfare
Ensuring
that children get the best possible start in life is a key
priority for the Australian Government. This report delivers
the latest and most reliable information on how, as a nation,
we are faring according to key statistical indicators of
child and youth health, development and wellbeing. The report
covers children and young people aged 0-19 years, and includes
indicators for the entire 0-19 year age range as well as
indicators for three different stages of development: 1)
infancy and early childhood; 2) school age childhood; and
3) adolescence. Information is presented on important issues
such as mental health, disability, risk factors for chronic
disease, mortality, education, homelessness, crime, jobless
families and family economic situation. Particular attention
is given to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children
and youth, and to how Australia compares internationally.
This is an essential resource for policy makers, researchers,
practitioners and anyone interested in the progress of Australia's
children and youth.
