WHY THE GYPPB?We Must Open More Doors!
Georgia ranks 41st in the nation, on the well-being of America's children and Georgia remains in the bottom 10 of 50 states, as it has for more than 15 years. Georgia ranks in the bottom 10 in six categories: 47th in high school dropouts;45th in teens not attending school and not working;43rd in low-birthweight babies, in teen births, and in children in single-parent families; and 42nd in infant mortality rate, which has remained stagnant since 2000. Georgia ranks 36th in the nation for the number of children under age 18 who lived in poverty between 2000 and 2005 has increased by 11 percent. In 2005, 20 percent of children lived in poverty, compared to 19 percent nationally. Georgia's child population is growing more diverse. Between 2000 and 2005, the number of children in Georgia under age 18 increased 8 percent, from 2.2 to 2.3 million. The population of white children increased 2 percent and black children increased 8 percent; the population of Asian and multiracial children each increased 28 percent; and the Hispanic/Latino child population increased 58 percent. The number of children in immigrant families increased 47 percent. Georgia has the third-highest percentage of high-school dropouts in the country. More than one-third of Georgia's children lack parents with secure employment. Though one of Georgia's highest rankings at 26th, there were 789,000 children (34 percent) living in families where no parent has full-time, year-round employment in 2005. More than 24,000 Georgia children are in need of a permanent family. In 2004, 24,368 Georgians under the age of 18 lived in foster care at some point during the year, a rate of 10 per 1,000 children. The Georgia rate mirrored the national rate.
