Tracking children’s development worldwide with the D-score
report
How do you visualise children’s development clearly, reliably, and consistently? And how can you do this globally to compare children’s development across different countries? There are major parties working on this around the world, but so far it is TNO that seems to have come up with the best approach – with a unit of measurement called the D-score. In 2018, the World Health Organisation (WHO) called this development promising, stating it had a high chance of being adopted globally as a vital tool for monitoring child development. It all started some 20 years ago when Stef van Buuren, Principal Scientist in the Child Health department at TNO, published a statistical principle on existing child development data purely out of curiosity.
