Summary:
Our Good Childhood Report 2024 shows the latest trends in children's wellbeing. Our research seeks to understand how young people feel about different aspects of their lives. This year’s Good Childhood Report reveals that too many young people are unhappy with their lives. 11% of the children and young people who completed our survey in 2024 had low wellbeing. And shockingly, data from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA 2022) shows that the UK’s 15-year-olds had the lowest average life satisfaction in Europe.
For over a decade, The Children’s Society has published The Good Childhood Report annually. For too long, this report has been a damning indictment of the low wellbeing experienced by far too many children and young people in the UK. The Good Childhood Report this year has shown that 15-year-olds in the UK have the lowest average life satisfaction when comparing to their peers in 26 other European countries. This is unacceptable which is why this year, The Children’s Society are publishing this national roadmap to a good childhood – a call for action on how Government can work towards overturning the decline in children’s wellbeing.
