This research paper aims to present the results of the implementation of the C.W.-SMILE tool that recorded child well-being in the second semester of the 2020-2021 school year. This is the fifth round of this ongoing diachronic research. The C.W.-SMILE tool consists of six dimensions: home conditions (D.1), nutrition (D.2), unemployment of guardians (D.3), free healthcare (D.4), moral education (D.5), and leisure (D.6). The first three dimensions concern children's economic well-being, while the latter three dimensions determine children's non-economic well-being. Based on welfare economics, the combination of economic well-being and non-economic well-being constitutes children's general (social) well-being. Each dimension consists of Simple Indicators. The paper also presents the results of the school year as a whole, to help investigate the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children's well-being for more periods. The tool was used to measure the well-being of children in Attica, through questionnaires that were circulated in 22 public schools and three support centers of the organization 'The Smile of the Child' (25 units in total). The sample consisted of 509 children, belonging to three distinct school categories. The results of the second semester are mapped in seven clusters (relating to seven socio-economically homogenous groups of municipalities in Attica). Analysis of the results of the school year 2020-2021 was done based on the data collected from a sample of 1,623 children; in other words, it took into account the data relating to the entire samples that were surveyed in the first and second semesters. The central outcomes of all the previous rounds of the research are verified through a principal component analysis (PCA), and a multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) which are employed for the fifth round. Finally, the paper suggests an action plan of social welfare based on a ChoiCo game designed for the needs of the fifth round of the C.W.-SMILE research.
本研究论文旨在展示2020 - 2021学年第二学期实施的C.W.-SMILE工具记录儿童福祉的结果。这是这项正在进行的历时性研究的第五轮。C.W.-SMILE工具由六个维度组成：家庭状况（维度1）、营养（维度2）、监护人失业情况（维度3）、免费医疗（维度4）、道德教育（维度5）和休闲（维度6）。前三个维度涉及儿童的经济福祉，而后三个维度决定儿童的非经济福祉。基于福利经济学，经济福祉和非经济福祉的结合构成儿童的总体（社会）福祉。每个维度由简单指标组成。本文还展示了整个学年的结果，以帮助在更多时间段内调查新冠疫情对儿童福祉不断演变的影响。该工具通过在22所公立学校和“儿童微笑”组织的三个支持中心（共25个单位）发放问卷，用于测量阿提卡地区儿童的福祉。样本由509名儿童组成，分属于三个不同的学校类别。第二学期的结果被映射到七个聚类中（与阿提卡地区七个社会经济同质的市组相关）。2020 - 2021学年的结果分析是基于从1623名儿童样本中收集的数据进行的；换句话说，它考虑了第一学期和第二学期调查的整个样本的数据。前几轮研究的核心结果通过主成分分析（PCA）和多元对应分析（MCA）进行验证，这两种分析方法用于第五轮研究。最后，本文基于为C.W.-SMILE研究第五轮需求设计的ChoiCo博弈提出了一项社会福利行动计划。
