Using longitudinal data collected about children’s development from ages 0 to 11 years old, this report covers a range of policy-relevant issues. Family functioning is the focus of chapters on children’s relationships with parents in shared care-time arrangements, financial support for children after parental separation and intergenerational disadvantage. Children’s wellbeing in the school context is addressed in chapters focusing on children’s experiences of bullying and school attendance. The report also discusses how children aged 10 and 11 years spend their time after school, while children’s health and health activities are covered in chapters on children’s allergies and children’s physical activity. For the first time in this series, the report also includes a chapter on the outcomes and transitions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.
