The Children and Young People’s (CYP) indicator set is a comprehensive collection of indicators relating to the lives of children and young people aged 0–24 years in Ireland. Developed by the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, it aims to track progress across each of the national outcomes outlined in Young Ireland, the national policy framework for children and young people 2023–2028.
The CYP Indicator Set replaces the previous indicator set used for the Better Outcomes, Brighter Futures (BOBF) national policy framework 2014–2020. The BOBF indicator set was initially published in 2017 and later updated in 2022. The CYP indicator set contains the same indicators as the BOBF indicator set, although in some cases they have been rearranged to align with the Young Ireland policy framework. Data for the indicators has been revised and updated for 2023. There have also been some updates, for example, the addition of a new indicator on e-cigarette usage and more information on indicators and their sources, including information on the availability of disaggregated data, in particular for marginalised or disadvantaged groups, and the provision of open data.
