The well-being of Canadian children is almost always linked to their family's household income, suggests a Statistics Canada report.

The federal agency examined the links between physical, social, emotional, cognitive and behavioural well-being in children aged four to 15 and household income.

The study found "higher income tends to be related to better physical, social/emotional, cognitive and behavioural well-being among children."

Increases in household income continue to remain associated with better well-being, even when children are no longer considered low income, suggested the study.

"In fact, the results did not find a point at which high household income stops being associated with better child well-being."

The report used data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth for 1994 to 1998.
