This paper begins by reviewing a range of comparative child well-being studies that social policy scholars at the University of York (UK) have been involved in since the late 2000s. In so doing, it highlights some key debates about the comparative analysis of child well-being and draws out key findings that are particularly pertinent to the cases of South Korea and the United Kingdom. Based on this analysis it then proceeds to outline some potential future agendas for South Korea - UK research on child well-being and highlights distinctive features of the two cases that mark them out as important cases for the analysis of child well-being outcomes.
