ILLINOIS KIDS COUNT 2013 REPORT

"Moving Policy, Making Progress"

The Illinois Kids Count 2013 report, “Moving Policy, Making Progress,” examines progress in improving the lives of children over the past 25 years. The report focuses on policy achievements and challenges in 10 featured policy areas that are particularly important to children’s well-being. Great strides have been made in early childhood education, health care coverage, and access to child care services. Unfortunately, over the past several years, the Great Recession and the state fiscal crisis have stalled progress, eroded gains, or undermined achievements in these and other areas. The report calls for a renewed commitment to investing in opportunities for children.
