| Annotation: | Key findings from this report indicate that a substantial percentage of children are disadvantaged in terms of resources available for healthy physical and mental
development. One-fifth of children under age 6 live in poverty, and nearly half of all children face one or more risk factors associated with gaps in school readiness.
These disadvantages translate into shortfalls in academic achievement, prosocial behavior, educational attainment, and, eventually, greater rates of unemployment and criminality. |
