Child well-being is a vital and holistic concept that encompasses the physical, mental, emotional, and social aspects of a child’s development. It goes beyond mere survival, aiming to ensure that children grow up in environments that promote safety, health, education, positive relationships, and opportunities for the future.
According to UNICEF, child well-being includes the conditions that allow children to “survive, develop, and thrive” across various domains, supported by strong family, social, and community frameworks. It emphasizes fulfilling fundamental rights as outlined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, focusing on education, nutrition, healthcare access, and emotional support. Additionally, child well-being is characterized by freedom from material deprivation and access to quality education, economic security, and safe environments.
This concept is crucial for policy, shaping a nation’s social and economic landscape. By prioritizing child well-being, the Andhra Pradesh Government can create healthier, more resilient populations, leading to significant long-term benefits, including improved health, social stability, and global competitiveness.
