OYANEDEL, Juan Carlos; ALFARO, Jaime  and  MELLA, Camila. Subjective Well-being and Children's Quality of Life in Chile. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2015, vol.13, n.1, pp.313-327. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.13118040414.

The article presents the results of International Survey on Children's Well-being (ISCWeB), carried out in Chile in 2012. The questionnaire was administered to a sample of 2.734 children, of 8, 10 and 12 year-old, residents of the three mayor urban areas of the country. Results show high levels of life satisfaction; however differences exist considering socio-economic and gender variables, as well as different aspects. Best rated aspects correspond to family, goods and health, detrimental to neighborhood and school. It is also noted that knowledge and perception that the Children's Rights are respected, decreases with age. Conclusions emphasize the need of further research on this subject.

Keywords : childhood; adolescence; childhood well-being; quality of life; Chile; Children's Rights.
