| Abstract | Kids Count is a national and state-by-state effort to track the status of children in the United States. By providing policy-makers and citizens with benchmarks of child well-being, the project attempts to enrich discussions about ways to secure better futures for all children. This year's data book, the sixth annual edition, places a special focus on a problem that is at the heart of social policy debates: the increasing numbers of children growing up without fathers actively involved in their lives. Since 1950, the percentage of children living in mother-only families has climbed from 6 percent to 24 percent in 1994. In addition to this focus, the report provides information on 10 indicators of child well-being: (1) percent of low birth-weight babies; (2) infant mortality rate; (3) child death rate; (4) number of births to unmarried teens per 1,000 females aged 15 to 19; (5) juvenile violent crime arrest rate; (6) percent of high school dropouts; (7) percent of teens not attending school and not working; (8) teen violent death rate; (9) percent of children in poverty; and (10) percent of single parent families. Eleven maps, three figures, and a profile for each state present indicator data. Four appendixes provide information about the study and supplemental national data for multiple years. (SLD) |
