While there is considerable interest in the measurement of quality of life (QoL) in the fields of child health and education, QoL is an issue that remains relatively unexplored in child welfare (UNICEF, La situation des enfants dans le monde. www.unicef.org/french/, 2009). This chapter presents the results from several studies, including our own, t...
