2012 edition of the Child Development Index tells a story of success. This
edition of the Index shows that substantial progress has been made in
addressing the most basic threats to child survival and well-being. On average,
the lives of children around the world in the indicators we measured improved
by more than 30%. <br>
This means that the chances of a child going to school were one-third higher,
and the chances of an infant dying before their fifth birthday were one-third
lower at the end of the 2000s than a decade before. During this period child
well-being improved in 90% of the countries surveyed…..”<font color="#3333ff"> <br></font></span></font></p>
