"It Takes A Village": Fostering child wellbeing in COVID and beyond

UNICEF Report Cards measure the state of children and youth under age 18 in wealthy countries. Report Card 16 shows that Canada is worlds apart from other rich countries in providing healthy, happy childhoods for every child. Canada ranks among the countries with the best economic, environmental and social conditions for growing up, but the poorest outcomes for children and youth.

Out of 38 countries, Canada ranks 30th.

COVID-19 is making childhood even harder for kids in Canada. The pandemic has only heightened concerns about children’s health, development, education, safety, relationships and happiness.

In this discussion, we will speak about child deprivation and what it means for the well-being of Canadian children both today and tommorow. How might we increase outcomes and foster healthier and happier children? How do we reckon with the growing inequalities in this country?
