TransMONEE provides trends against common and comparible benchmarks across the following 28 countries since 1989. Annual updates can be seen at this dedicated web-based database www.transmonee.org and its user-friendly version www.moneeinfo.org.
What is TransMonEE - A database capturing a vast range of in-formation on social and economic issues relevant to the situation and wellbeing of children, adolescents and women in 28 countries of Central and Eastern Europe, Commonwealth of Independent States and the European Union.
The database represents a useful tool for governments, civil soci-ety organizations, donors and academia to better orient their decisions, policies, programmes and agendas. The database is up-dated every year thanks to the collaboration of national statistical offices (NSOs). The published data are only a selection of the larger amount of indicators annually collected.
Immunization is a core component of the human right to
health and an individual, community and government responsibility. Protected from the threat of vaccine –preventable diseases, immunized children have the opportunity to thrive and a better chance of realizing their full potential.

The document appears to be asking respondents to indicate which types of relationships they find acceptable between children with disabilities and others. It lists several potential relationships and provides percentage figures but does not provide any meaningful context around the relationships or percentages.

The 2014 Serbia Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) and 2014 Serbia Roma Settlements Multiple Indicator Cluster
Survey were carried out in 2014 by the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia as part of the global MICS programme.
Technical and financial support was provided by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
The global MICS programme was developed by UNICEF in the 1990s as an international household survey programme
to support countries in the collection of internationally comparable data on a wide range of indicators on the situation of children and women. MICS surveys measure key indicators that allow countries to generate data for use in policies and programmes, and to monitor progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and other internationally agreed upon commitments.
This document summarizes a study on investing in early childhood education in Montenegro. It finds that preschool education has significant benefits for child development and prepares children for primary education. Currently, preschool coverage in Montenegro reaches around 60% of children ages 3 to 6, with wide variations between municipalities. The study estimates the annual costs of providing full-time preschool for one child to be around €2,000. It models the costs of introducing universal three-hour preschool preparatory programs and expanding coverage to all children ages 3 to 6, finding it would require around €20 million annually. The study provides recommendations to improve access to quality early childhood education in Montenegro.
This document summarizes research on the impact of television on children. It discusses how television is a powerful medium that influences children's understanding of reality. Through observational learning, children are more likely to emulate behaviors that are frequently modeled and rewarded. Research by Albert Bandura found that children who observed aggressive behaviors on television were more likely to display aggression themselves. While some studies link television to increased aggression in children, the relationship is complex and positive modeling could also influence prosocial behaviors.
This document provides an overview of the results of a research study on children's expectations from political parties regarding children's rights in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). The study found that children are most concerned about lack of food, safe housing, and ability to afford education. Children also face issues like bullying, lack of leisure activities, and domestic violence. Most children are aware of their basic rights but not entirely clear on what all rights mean. Children see politicians as chiefly responsible for issues they face. The study aims to advocate for inclusion of children's issues in party platforms and policies.
UNICEF and OHCHR call on governments in Europe and Central Asia to end the practice of placing children under three years old, including those with disabilities, in institutional care. While reforms have been ongoing, the rates of institutionalization in the region remain extraordinarily high, with over 600,000 children living in institutions. Placement of young children in institutional care should only be used as an absolute last resort and for short term emergencies of no more than six months. It is time to prioritize developing family and community-based care alternatives to support vulnerable families and children, especially those with disabilities.
The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Regular meditation practice can help calm the mind and body by lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Studies have shown that meditating for just 10-20 minutes per day can have significant positive impacts on both mental and physical health over time.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
