Kids Count Report Shows Nebraska is 9th Best in Nation
Nebraska ranks 9th overall in the nation in a state-by-state study
of the well-being of children, according to the national 2008 Kids
Count Data Book released today.
“Nebraska is ranked ninth in the nation and is doing a good job of
caring for children and families, and we are extremely proud of
being
in the top 10 in the nation in five of the key indicators,” said
Christine Peterson, CEO of the Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS). “We’ve moved up in the ranking of child well-being
and improved in four specific areas.”
Nebraska ranks in the top 10 in the nation for these five key
indicators:
#3 for the rate of securely employed parents;
#4 for the lowest percentage of children in single-parent families;
#9 for the rate of infant mortality rate (deaths per 1,000 live
births)
#9 for the percentage of idle teens (not attending school, not
working, ages 16-19); and
#10 for the high school dropout rate. (ages 16-19)
Nebraska has shown a consistently positive performance over the
years, and has been ranked as one of the top 13 states overall since
1999 on these same indicators. Nebraska rankings on the other five
indicators in the report range from 13th to 27th in the nation.
“It’s good to see this validation of work around the safety, well-
being and permanency of children. This progress has been made
possible through our collaboration with judges, providers and law
enforcement,” Peterson said. “I especially want to thank our DHHS
staff for their dedication to the well-being of children and
families.”
