The Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics was founded in 1994 and formally established by Executive Order in April 1997, to foster the coordination and collaboration of the collection and reporting of Federal data on children and families.

This report is the first in a planned annual effort to monitor the well-being of the Nation’s children. Devel- oped jointly by the Federal agencies that provide data on children, it presents twenty-five key indicators of the condition of children. This unique report covers a wide range of key indicators of children’s well-being which are monitored through official statistics: children’s eco- nomic security, their health, their behavior and social environment, and their education.
