Are young children healthier than they were two decades ago? The changing face of early childhood in the UK

Are young children healthier than they were two decades ago? The changing face of early childhood in the UK This report explores the significant developments in young children’s health over the last 20 years, focusing on seven fundamental indicators. While the review identifies improvements across these indicators, progress has recently stalled—and in some cases the situation has deteriorated. However, we conclude with evidence of policies that work and demonstrate the potential to reduce inequalities and improve the life chances of many young children. Nuffield Foundation
