Policy Research

A subsequent study conducted by The SMERU Research Institute, UNICEF, and the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas in 2022 aimed to introduce the Child Happiness Survey (CHS) as a foundation and commitment of the West Java Provincial Government to improve children's well-being holistically.

This study sought to enhance policymakers' awareness and understanding of children's well-being from a child's perspective and to introduce the concept of subjective child well-being for integration into program planning and development in West Java.

To what extent are policymakers aware of the importance of well-being from a child's perspective?
