Mission Improved Well-being of Children and Youth

We are on an important mission. It concerns the children and young people of Denmark. A mission to improve their well-being by 2040. Because a good life begins with a good childhood. So it is important that all children and young people thrive. And it is therefore concerning that an increasing number of Danish children and young people are struggling in their everyday lives and over their life course. This requires action by our society as a whole – politicians, authorities, civil society and the business community – if we are to reverse this trend.
