The 2019 Canadian Index of Child and Youth Well-Being was developed to communicate what Canada is like for kids from birth to 18 years. The Index recognizes the interdependence of 9 key areas including play and a sense of belonging. It was reported that only 1 in 5 youth ages 5 to 11 get 90 minutes of daily play time. It was also reported that 1 in 3 youth are not involved in social groups and activities. The full report can be found online.
