KIDS COUNT DATA BOOK
The
17th annual Kid Count Data Book, which tracks measures
of child well-being, was released on
Wednesday, July 25,
2007 by the Annie
E. Casey Foundation and Massachusetts
Kids Count – a program of Massachusetts Citizens

Rankings
Massachusetts ranks 5th overall among all states in this
year’s Data Book. Massachusetts improved in four
out of ten measures that reflect child well-being, experienced
setbacks in three indicators, and saw no change in three
since 2000.
Kids
Count, a project of the Annie E. Casey Foundation,
is a national and state-by-state effort to track
the status of children in the United States.
By providing
policymakers and citizens with benchmarks of
child well-being, Kids Count seeks to enrich
local, state, and national discussions concerning ways to secure
better futures for all children.
Massachusetts
Kids Count publishes reports of data measuring
the educational, social, economic, and physical well-being
of children. We also conduct public opinion polls to
measure the awareness and concern of our state's citizens
regarding children's well-being.
