- Summary
- The indicators developed by the FRA presented in this report 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. With this in mind, the indicators presented here call for a cautious and pragmatic, step-by-step approach; one that respects the current boundaries of EU competence and acknowledges the respective and discrete roles of the international, European and national institutions responsible for addressing different aspects of children's rights.
