Download or read book City Rural KIDS COUNT Data Book KIDS COUNT Special Report written by Annie E. Casey Foundation, Baltimore, MD. and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication provides the objective data needed to track and monitor the well-being of children in different types of American communities. It is part of the ongoing work of the Casey Foundation -- advanced primarily through our KIDS COUNT initiative -- designed to give policymakers data that can help them better understand how conditions of families in their communities stack up against those in other communities across the country. Objective, scientific data provide the best foundation for informed debate and sound policy decisions. This special edition of the KIDS COUNT Data Book, was produced in an effort to elevate the understanding and awareness of conditions faced by children in the largest cities and in rural communities. By providing a consistent, reliable set of child well-being indicators, readers are invited to compare child outcomes for types of communities within their state or compare communities of similar types across states. These kinds of comparisons are provocative, and hopefully, they will lead to improved outcomes for kids and families regardless of where they live. Ultimately, disadvantaged kids in America would be better served by emphasizing the similarities in their plight, rather than stressing the differences. Appended are: (1) Rural Areas of States Ranked by Indicator; and (2) 50 Largest Cities Ranked by Indicator. Also included are: Definitions and Data Sources; and Primary Contacts for State KIDS COUNT Projects. [Data for this report compiled by Population Reference Bureau.].

Download or read book Rural KIDS COUNT Pocket Guide Measures of Child Well Being in the Nation s Rural Areas written by Annie E. Casey Foundation, Baltimore, MD. and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This "Pocket Guide" is derived from the "2004 KIDS COUNT Special Report: City & Rural KIDSCOUNT Data Book." It is designed to give state-level policymakers a better understanding of conditions faced by families in their rural communities and how they compare to those in the rural parts of other states, as well as the country as a whole. This special guide provides the kind of detailed, objective data needed to track and monitor the well-being of children in the rural areas of every state. The measures presented here provide information on the following: Poverty; Family structure; Parental employment; Housing affordability; and Education. The data show that too many children growing up in isolated rural communities, in every region of the country, do not have the supports they need to become successful workers, responsible parent, and engaged citizens. Addressing--and resolving--issues facing disadvantaged children and families requires a combination of know-how, political will, and tangible resources. [This "KIDS COUNT Pocket Guide" was produced for the Annie E. Casey Foundation by the Population Reference Bureau (PRB).].

Download or read book Longing and Belonging written by Allison Pugh and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2009-03-04 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even as they see their wages go down and their buying power decrease, many parents are still putting their kids' material desires first. These parents struggle with how to handle children's consumer wants, which continue unabated despite the economic downturn. And, indeed, parents and other adults continue to spend billions of dollars on children every year. Why do children seem to desire so much, so often, so soon, and why do parents capitulate so readily? To determine what forces lie behind the onslaught of Nintendo Wiis and Bratz dolls, Allison J. Pugh spent three years observing and interviewing children and their families. In Longing and Belonging: Parents, Children, and Consumer Culture, Pugh teases out the complex factors that contribute to how we buy, from lunchroom conversations about Game Boys to the stark inequalities facing American children. Pugh finds that children's desires stem less from striving for status or falling victim to advertising than from their yearning to join the conversation at school or in the neighborhood. Most parents respond to children's need to belong by buying the particular goods and experiences that act as passports in children's social worlds, because they sympathize with their children's fear of being different from their peers. Even under financial constraints, families prioritize children "feeling normal". Pugh masterfully illuminates the surprising similarities in the fears and hopes of parents and children from vastly different social contexts, showing that while corporate marketing and materialism play a part in the commodification of childhood, at the heart of the matter is the desire to belong.
