Monitoring progress

Overview

Adolescent well-being has received increased attention in recent years, and a new definition and conceptual framework on adolescent well-being has been proposed by a United Nations H6+ Technical Working Group on Adolescent Health and Well-being and partners. However, current measurement to track progress in the improvement of adolescent well-being globally is inconsistent. The aim of this background paper is to provide an overview of available indicators proposed by measurement and accountability initiatives for monitoring adolescent well-being, and of questions included in questionnaires currently used for data collection.
