Child poverty remains a major global concern and a child's experience of deprivation is heavily shaped by where they live and the stability of their local neighbourhood. This study examines frequencies and patterns of residential mobility in children and young people at a population level using novel geospatial techniques to assess how often their physical environment changes and to identify geographical variations in social mobility.

More than 80,000 Australian children are expected to benefit from a trial being rolled out to 700 childcare centres across the country that aims to boost declining physical activity levels.
