ABSTRACTThis report presents a statistical look at the

well-being of children in the state of Illinois, quantifying theproblems confronting them and outlining steps that policymakers andservice providers can take to improve the situation. The first partof the report summarizes the state's situation in the areas ofeducation, health, special needs, and economic security. It alsodiscusses a new paradigm for comprehensive services, and includescharts highlighting county performance in areas such as spending perpupil, prenatal care, and unemployment; and a comparison of Illinois'statistics as a whole with neighboring states, California, and NewYork. The bulk of the document contains charts highlighting data fromeach county in each of the following four areas: (1) Education,

including early childhood education, child care, and educationspending; (2) Health, covering lack of parental care, low birth rate,infant morality, and youth death rate. (3) Special needs, coveringnew families at risk, abuse and neglect, foster care, and youth

arrests; and (4) Economic Security, covering unemployment andchildren whose families receive Aid to Families with DependentChildren (AFDC) funding. A section on definitions and methodologyconcludes the report. (SW)
