Overview\u003Cbr>Each year, the Foundation for Child Development and the Child and Youth Well-Being Index Project at Duke University issue a comprehensive measure of how children are faring in the United States. The resultant National Child and Youth WellBeing Index (CWI) is based on a composite of 28 Key Indicators of Well-Being, grouped into seven Qualityof-Life/Well-Being Domains. These Domains are: Family Economic Well-Being, Safe/Risky Behavior, Social Relationships, Emotional/Spiritual Well-Being, Community Engagement, Educational Attainment, and Health.\u003Cbr>This year’s report highlights:\u003Cbr>• long-term trends in theCWI, in its seven Domains, and in its 28 Key Indicators, 1975–2012.\u003Cbr>Specifically, this year’s report includes:\u003Cbr>• Calculated values of theCWI for each of the years from 1975, the base year of the Index, to 2010;\u003Cbr>• An updated estimate of the CWI for 2011 based on observed values of Key Indicators that have become available since last year’s report;\u003Cbr>• An initial estimate of the CWI for 2012 based on those observed values of the Key Indicators for 2012 that are currently available, along with projections ofthe other Key Indicators; and\u003Cbr>•A review of long-term trends in the seven Domainsand 28 Key Indicators of the CWI, highlighting: 1) each Domain and Indicator’s beginning value in 1975 (or the earliest year for which data are available), 2) ending values in 2012, and 3) high and low values with the corresponding years in which these occurred. | II. Major Findings: Trends in the National Child and Youth Well-Being Index, 1975–2012\u003Cbr>The major trends that can be drawn from the 2013 CWI Update include:\u003Cbr>• The overall composite CWI shows little change for the years 2010–2012.\u003Cbr>• Overall, the predominant long-term trend in the CWI indicates the recent values are just above 100, indicating little overall improvement compared with the base year, 1975.\u003Cbr>• Family Economic Well-Being had a decade-long decline, further negatively impacted by the 2008–2009 Great Recession. The decline was due to a number of Key Indicators, including increases in child poverty and decreases in secure parental employment and median family income.\u003Cbr>• The years 2011 and 2012 show slight improvement in Family Economic Well-Being; however, values for 2010 (97.95), 2011 (98.25), and 2012 (99.7) are all lower than the base year, 1975. Thus, all of the improvements in the economic wellbeing of families with children under the age of 18 over the past 37 years have been lost.\u003Cbr>• The Safe/Risky Behavior Domain continues to show improvement, with a much higher Index value of 151.4 in 2012.
