KIDS COUNT Data Book Addresses Trends in Child Well Being

The Annie E. Casey Foundation has released its 2013 KIDS COUNT Data Book. This publication provides state and national data on 16 key indicators of child well-being across four domains-economics, education, health, and family and community-and state rankings. Children continue to progress in the education and health domains despite the growing poverty rate. New data on America's youngest children contribute to the ongoing conversation on the importance of early childhood education.
