On Wednesday, September 24, the Better Care Network and the CPC Learning Network will co-host a one-day symposium entitled “The State of the Evidence on Children’s Care.” This symposium will bring together a number of leading academics, policymakers, and practitioners involved in the development or implementation of key initiatives to better measure issues of children’s care at country, regional, or international levels.
The symposium topics will be clustered around three specific areas of research on children’s care:
-
Efforts to measure trends in family composition and children’s care and living arrangements;
-
Initiatives to measure the impact of policies and programs to strengthen families and to ensure children’s ability to be raised in a family environment; and,
-
Measurement of situations and outcomes concerning children outside of family care and children in alternative care arrangements.
