The World Family Map Project monitors the global health of the family by tracking 16 indicators of family structure,
family socio-economics, family processes, and family culture in multiple countries around the world. Each annual report
of the project shares the latest data on these indicators, as well as an original essay focusing on one important aspect of
contemporary family life. In both the indicators and the essay, we share the highest-quality data available for countries
that are representative of each region of the world. Scholars around the globe serve as advisors and analysts for the project,
stimulating a large community of researchers to gather new data and conduct innovative studies on families and children.
