Examining the relation between children’s satisfaction with their time-use and subjective well-being
This study investigated the relation between children’s satisfaction with their time use and their subjective well-being (SWB) using data from a nationally representative sample of South African children aged 10 to 12 years. Drawing on UNICEF’s multilevel systems framework, the study examined how satisfaction with various aspects of time use, such as free time, choice, and enjoyment, relates to their SWB. Structural equation modelling revealed th…

Longitudinal Study of Gender Differences in Adolescent Sense of Loneliness
This longitudinal study explores the evolving contributors to adolescents’ sense of loneliness (SoL), focusing on subjective well-being (SWB), bullying and problematic internet use (PIU) across two time points. Data were gathered from adolescents aged 10 to 16 using self-reported measures of SWB (cognitive and affective dimensions), bullying experiences, PIU and a direct question on SoL. The analysis included 882 adolescents, with the mean age be…
Adolescent Flourishing in South Africa
The measurement of flourishing as an indicator of social progress has gained global recognition as a priority for governments. Adolescents, in particular, have been empirically identified as a population requiring more focused research on flourishing. In South Africa, understanding adolescent flourishing is especially critical given the country’s unique socio-cultural, economic, and historical context. This study examines flourishing among a samp…
Subjective well-being of children and adolescents during the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia
Well-being in late childhood and early adolescence
This paper has three objectives (1) to test whether a decrease in well-being scores is observed from one year to the next in the period between 10 and 16 years of age when measured using indicators of subjective well-being (SWB) (including the OLS as a global measure) and psychological well-being (PWB); (2) to explore the contribution of the primary/secondary school, gender and age in explaining global SWB; and (3) to identify potential non-linea…
Changes in the network structure of well-being components in adolescents in the school context
Disentangling the connections between subjective and psychological well-being may help practitioners identify effective targets of intervention to promote mental health in school settings. Based on theoretical foundations of well-being, the present study utilized psychometric network analysis to explore prospective associations between the subjective and psychological well-being of adolescents over 2 years. To this end, a cross-sectional network …
A Systematic Review of Children’s Psychological Well-Being from a Eudaimonic Perspective
Understanding children’s psychological well-being (PWB) from a eudaimonic perspective is crucial given its impact on children’s overall well-being and quality of life. This perspective denotes PWB as the realisation of one’s true potential and attaining meaningful goals that lead to personal growth and fulfilment. Despite the recent increasing interest in children’s PWB, there is limited literature in this area. This may be due to the abstract na…
The self-reported well-being of children in Namibia
Although research on hedonic and eudaimonic children's well-being is growing, these constructs need to be understood within the African context. In this study we validated two psychometric scales with 10 and 12-year-old children (n = 2 035) in the Namibian setting: the Children's Worlds Subjective Well-being Scale (CW-SWBS, measuring subjective well-being) and the Children's Worlds Psychological Well-being Scale (CW-PSWBS, measuring psychological…
Well-being at School of 10-year-old Students Living in France in a Bilingual Family Language Context with a Minorated Language
Economic Development and Adolescent Wellbeing in 139 Countries
There is a positive association between the level of economic development and national levels of overall life satisfaction (OLS) in the adult population, with decreasing marginal returns. However, research shows no association in early adolescence and a negative association in middle adolescence. We hypothesize that this is due to the exclusion of low-income countries, where adolescent wellbeing is rarely collected. 2015–2019 Gallup World Poll da…
Children with homeostatically maintained and homeostatically defeated subjective well-being in Indonesia
A Machine Learning Approach to Well-Being in Late Childhood and Early Adolescence
Explaining what leads to higher or lower levels of subjective well-being (SWB) in childhood and adolescence is one of the cornerstones within this field of studies, since it can lead to the development of more focused preventive and promotion actions. Although many indicators of SWB have been identified, selecting one over the other to obtain a reasonably short list poses a challenge, given that models are particularly sensitive to the indicators…
Sibling Bullying, School Bullying, and Children’s Subjective Well-Being Before and During the Covid-19 Pandemic in Indonesia
Considering a Bifactor Model of Children’s Subjective Well-Being Using a Multinational Sample
In the current study, we consider the viability of a bifactor model of children’s subjective well-being (SWB) by contributing to the discussion on the dimensionality of children’s SWB. We specify a general factor of SWB and four group factors (context-free cognitive life satisfaction, domain-based cognitive life satisfaction, positive affect, and negative affect) using structural equation modelling and parceling. We used data from the Children’s …
Filling the 8-Year-Old Gap in the Study of Well-Being
Research on child well-being under 10 years old is limited. A first step towards stimulating research targeting this population is the validation of psychometric scales across cultures. The current study examines the cross-cultural validity of the Children’s Worlds - Subjective Well-being Scale (CS-SWBS-8-year-old version), a six-item subjective well-being scale in an international sample of 8-year-olds (N = 20,822) across 19 countries. A confirm…

Predictors of Family, School and Neighbourhood Domain on Life Satisfaction in Chilean Adolescents
Adolescents live in constant interaction with their family, school and neighbourhood domains, affecting them and being affected by them, playing an active role in their subjective well-being. The aim of the study was to determine the influence of family, school and neighbourhood domains on the life satisfaction of Chilean adolescents. The sample consisted of 1392 adolescents who participated in the International Survey on Children's Well-Being (I…
The Subjective Well-Being of Children in Residential Care
The subjective well-being of children in residential care is a relevant issue given the practical implications for improving the lives of these children who live in contexts of vulnerability. The question addressed in this respect was: “How does this well-being change over the years”? Thus, the aim of this study was to compare the subjective well-being displayed by adolescents aged 11–14 in residential care in Catalonia (north-eastern Spain) in 2…

Rights and overall life satisfaction of 10- and 12-year-old children in three countries
Previous research has shown that knowledge of the rights of the child and their perceptions about their own participation may contribute to children’s subjective well-being (SWB), and that satisfaction with how adults listen to children and take what they say into account is highly related to children’s SWB in many countries. Thus, the aims of this article are: (a) exploring the contribution to children’s subjective well-being of several items re…
Economic and Children’s Subjective Well-Being Indicators at the National Level in 35 Countries
This study uses representative samples of 10- and 12-year-olds from the third wave of the Children’s Words international survey (N = 48,499 10-year-olds from 35 countries, and N= 44,692 12-year-olds from 30 countries) to explore the relationship between four main economic indicators at the country level and a selection of children’s subjective well-being (SWB) indicators. The economic indicators included measures of wealth and wealth inequality, …

The aim of this paper is to analyse how 10‐ to 15‐year‐old adolescents define their own perceptions of well‐being and the factors influencing it at their age. Ten focus groups were organized, two from each age group. One group for each age included the students with the lowest scores in subjective well‐being ( SWB ) and the other included those with the highest, according to their responses to previously administered psychometric scales. The view…
Delayed educational pathways and risk of social exclusion
It is assumed that education may be one of the key aspects in preventing social exclusion and that children in both residential and family foster care would seem to be at risk of exclusion due to unequal opportunities in compulsory and post-compulsory education, particularly when leaving care. On the basis of findings from a European research project, this article examines the educational pathways in Spain among 18–22 year olds who were in care a…

The education of children and adolescents in out-of-home care
The education of children in care is an issue that often falls into a no man’s land in which responsibility always seems to be attributed to the other ‘department’. Furthermore, all too often, teachers, educators and foster parents find themselves working with these children with no support, as if they were isolated cases. The aim of this study is to get to know the school situation of children in different types of out-of-home care: residential,…

Perceptions of Stigma and User Involvement in Child Welfare Services
This paper explores the perceptions of social disqualification or ‘stigma’ that service users attributed to public child welfare services in random samples of service users taken from the Netherlands, a part of Spain (Catalonia) and a part of the United Kingdom (Wales). It was found that, in all three samples, foster and residential care invoked the greatest sense of stigma, while the health related and the preventive family services were perceiv…

This paper draws on an empirical study of stigma and child welfare services in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Spain. It focuses exclusively on the findings relating to the United Kingdom and shows how stigma continues to be a part of the experience of using and delivering child welfare services, despite the positive determination of policies that this should not be so. More optimistically, however, it is also evident that the experience…
