UNICEF publishes research on corporal punishment

In December 2007 UNICEF published Progress for Children: A World Fit for Children – Statistical Review. The report examines progress worldwide towards the Millennium Development Goals, and this edition includes statistical information on corporal punishment in the home in 29 countries. The figures are based on surveys in 2005-2006 and show that in the countries surveyed, 86% of children aged 2-14 experienced violent discipline.
