Abstract	This is a statistical survey of children in the South, designed for the use of public policy makers, child advocates, and human service specialists. Section one presents a general demographic overview that includes birth rates, migration and growth trends, and racial distribution. The second section provides statistics on living arrangements, mothers working outside the home, and the economic circumstances of the southern family. The third section outlines the health situation for young southerners with information on health coverage and utilization, infant mortality, birth weights, teenage pregnancy, handicapped children, family planning, immunization, dental care, and the causes of death in children. Section four presents statistics that show the number of children receiving support under Medicaid and Aid to Families with Dependent Children. The last section describes the educational picture in the south, and presents data for enrollments, dropouts, and government educational expenditures. An extensive appendix provides supporting statistical materials. (APM)
