The World Happiness Report

Written By Jessica Surdey

20 March 2024: The World Happiness Report, published today, emphasises the importance of GUIDE in collecting comparative longitudinal data. 

Chapter 3 which focuses on ‘Child and Adolescent Wellbeing’ states:  

"In Europe, there is ongoing work to conduct the first cross-national birth cohort survey of child well-being through GUIDE (Growing Up In Digital Europe), supported by the Coordinate project. This project is mobilizing researchers and organizations, fostering coordinated efforts to enhance the harmonization and accessibility of international survey data, specifically focusing on panel survey data for examining the well-being of children and young individuals as they grow up. This initiative will contribute significantly to a key longer-term goal in the field: obtaining more comparable longitudinal data across countries to enable more robust evidence on how to promote child and adolescent well-being."
