Sammanfattning
As one of fourteen commissioners, I participated in the work of the Malmö
Commission and wrote, among other things, a scientific report on the basis
of the health of the youngest children. A strong incentive was to bring a child
rights perspective into the work of the Commission and into the general process.
A strength with the way the report was elaborated was the creation of a
child research network where several new contacts were established. By analysing
the proposed actions from the scientific reports final recommendations
of the report were formulated. Making Malmö the "City of children" became
an overarching recommendation in order to highlight the health of the children
and to take the motto of early intervention seriously. The continued implementation
of proposals and measures implies and requires a democratic process
where both adults and children in Malmö participate. Hopefully, the objectives
and approaches may inspire a national commission on social sustainability
and health equity
