Statistical Brief: Children’s Well-Being: An International Comparison

Report Number SB/91-1

The Census Bureau has a vast amount of data on social and economic characteristics in countries abroad as well as corresponding data for the United States. This brief presents comparable international statistics on the status of children and youth under age 25 in the United States and in 11 other developed and 4 developing countries (China, India, Israel, and Mexico). Statistics on the topics covered in this brief are not available for all of these countries. For most topics, the data were collected in different years for each country. The statistics used come primarily from the International Data Base on the Health and Well-Being of Children, housed at the Bureau's Center tor International Research (CIR) and supported by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
