Did you know that . . .
*About 3% of all US households have children under age 3?
*Nearly 40% of babies and toddlers spend 35 or more hours each week in child care?
*The rate of triplets and higher-order multiple births has increased 400% in the past 20 years?
*13% of all babies under age 1 are uninsured?
*77% of all the children who died from abuse or neglect in 2001 were younger than 4?
*Only 3% of the eligible population receive Early Head Start services? This is small sample of the information you will find in America’s Babies. This new book, from the ZERO TO THREE Policy Center, provides a comprehensive and compelling view of the state of babies and toddlers in the United States today. Data is presented through more than 70 figures and tables; their meaning is clarified and expanded upon through the accompanying text. Information is organized around demographics, child well-being, family and economic factors, and early educational indicators. Comparative international data also are included. Too often the lack of data specific to the first 3 years of life allows our youngest citizens to be overlooked in policy discussions. America’s Babies was developed to allow policymakers to better understand how biological, environmental, and family conditions interact to influence the lifetime development of infants and toddlers. Writers will find the detailed statistics, research, and compelling data they need to back up assertions. And students and practitioners will benefit from the book’s overviews of federal programs as well as the demographic context for child development and family life in the United States. We hope that this publication will be an effective tool for policymakers, program planners, practitioners, advocates, and educators. Most importantly, we hope that it helps ensure that America’s babies are counted in all that we do.
