Developing indicators for the protection, respect and promotion of the rights of the child in the European Union SUMMARY REPORT

The indicators developed by the FRA presented in this report should be seen as
integral to this process. They constitute an initial toolkit to evaluate the impact
of EU law and policy on children’s status and experience across various fields.
These indicators aim also to highlight the existing gaps both in current EU
provision and available data, providing a springboard for future legal, policy
and research development. Furthermore, they complement and build upon
previous efforts to develop child indicators at EU level extending across
specific areas of substantive law and policy.
