KIDS COUNT
What is KIDS COUNT?
 |
KIDS COUNT is a national and state-by-state effort to track the status of children in the United States. KIDS COUNT exists to measure child outcomes and contribute to public accountability for those outcomes, resulting in a model for data-driven advocacy for children, their families, and their communities. A project of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, this initiative provides policymakers and citizens with national and comparable benchmarks of child well-being. By providing these indicators, KIDS COUNT seeks to enrich local, state, and national discussions of ways to secure better futures for all children. It is intended to gauge the seriousness of the problems facing children and guide the policy trends and goals on behalf of children. |
You can now access over 100 measures of child well-being on the KIDS COUNT Data Center. This easy to use, powerful online tool allows you to generate custom reports, including profiles by state, comparisons by topic, and raw data.
