In this study, the author explains the inequalities that exist
between U.S. states with respect to child social well-being
outcomes by demonstrating that state level characteristics (which
are structural in nature) can predict child social well-being
outcomes. Child social well-being outcomes are quite variable in
the United States. Children in states like Connecticut, Minnesota,
and Vermont experience relatively good outcomes, while children in
states like Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama experience poor
outcomes. Although these inequalities suggest the need for strong
federal child welfare policies to raise the well-being of all
children to a minimum standard, such policies remain absent from
the child welfare policy agenda.
Using data from the U.S. census and various child welfare and
social welfare organizations, the study demonstrates that economic,
population, and child welfare policy characteristics of states
influence indicators of child social well-being, including child
poverty rates, infant mortality rates, and out-of-home placement
rates.
