This Kids Count data book examines statewide trends in thewell-being of Connecticut's children. The report first examines the extent ofchild poverty in Connecticut, as well as its causes and effects, and suggestssome possible courses of action. Following demographic information, the bulkof the report provides a statistical portrait of Connecticut's children basedon 14 indicators of well-being: (1) children living in poverty; (2) familysetting; (3) children in families receiving welfare benefits; (4) childrenreceiving free or reduced-price meals; (5) low birthweight; (6) infantmortality; (7) prenatal care; (8) births to teen mothers; (9) performance onConnecticut Mastery Test; (10) performance on Connecticut AcademicPerformance Test; (11) high school dropout rate; (12) juvenile violent crimearrests; (13) child abuse; and (14) teen deaths. Among the findings, thereport indicates that increasing numbers of children are living in poverty;the number of children in families receiving welfare benefits has declined;the low birthweight rate has increased; and test performance has improved, ashas the dropout rate. Percent of births to teen mothers has remained static.The final portion of the report presents the child well-being informationorganized by region rather than indicator. An explanation of terms andmethodology concludes the report. (HTH)
