Abstract
America’s Children: Key National Indicators of Well-Being,
2021, is a compendium of indicators about our Nation’s
young people. The report, the 24th produced by the Forum,
presents 41 key indicators on important aspects of children’s
lives. These indicators are drawn from our most reliable
Federal statistics, are easily understood by broad audiences,
are objectively based on substantial research, are balanced
so that no single area of children’s lives dominates the
report, are measured often to show trends over time, and
are representative of large segments of the population rather
than one particular group.
The report continues to present key indicators in seven
domains: family and social environment, economic
circumstances, health care, physical environment and
safety, behavior, education, and health. To ensure that the
information stays relevant, the Forum periodically revises
indicators, data sources, and features to maintain the
relevance of the report.
