Abstract:
Enhancing the well-being of our children--one of the nation's most valuable assets--requires a coordinated federal approach that takes into account the interrelatedness of federal actions and policies that aim to improve the lives of children. For this report, GAO reviewed published federal data on select child well-being indicators, and interviewed federal officials and officials from 18 organizations that conduct research on children and family issues, selected to provide balance and coverage by subject matter expertise and to provide a range of viewpoints.
