Things children feel about their lives
The Children's Society have published their Good Childhood Report 2014 which reveals that children in England ranked ninth out of 11 countries surveyed for subjective well-being, ahead of only South Korea and Uganda. In a separate survey, England also fared slightly worse than Scotland and Wales.In addition, around 13% of 10 to 13 year olds are unhappy with the way they look, with girls faring much worse (18%) than boys (9%).Children who are regularly active have higher well-being compared to children who are not. And children who use computers and the internet regularly have higher well-being than children who do not.Around 10% of children living with a severely depressed mother had low well-being, compared to around 6% of children who did not.Children who felt poorer were twice as likely to say they were unhappy and almost three times more likely to say they had low life satisfaction.
