The children’s social health monitor
In response to deteriorating economic conditions in New Zealand and Australia in the late 2000s, a Working Group of health professionals from a range of organisations with an interest in child health was formed in early 2009. Over the course of the year, this Working Group discussed the conceptualisation of an indicator set which could be used to monitor the impact of the recession on child wellbeing, the range of indicators which might be included, and the criteria by which these indicators should be selected.
