The International Society for Child Indicators (ISCI) is an international organisation that is home to researchers, data users, child advocates, and policymakers. It has made considerable advances in developing and using indicators to measure the well-being of children and adolescents. In 2024, ISCI is going to hold its 9th International Conference for the second time in Asia.
