Abstract
Description
Welcome to the 19th edition of KIDS COUNT in Delaware and the 15th joint publication of KIDS COUNT in Delaware/FAMILIES COUNT in Delaware. This collaborative project of the State of Delaware and KIDS COUNT is housed in the Center for Community Research and Service at the University of Delaware. In this 19th edition, we examine how the lives of children and their families have been affected by recent economic changes. The attention given to the data on poverty and children well-being should serve as a call to action. Investments that have been made for Delaware’s children and youth need to be strengthened.
