Abstract	This report examines the status of America's children and families in 1989, and confirms that major demographic, social, and economic changes during the past two decades have had profound effects on individual and family life. After an introduction, contents organized in 125 subsections focus on numerous dimensions of population and residence, family environment, parental employment and child care, income and economic well-being, education, health, behavior, attitudes, and government programs affecting children. At least 125 tables of data are included in the topical subsections. It is maintained that as children decline as a proportion of the American population, their lives become more precious, and policymakers' responsibility to them even greater. It is concluded that if policymakers do not become motivated to promote policies that can reverse today's alarming trends, they will enter the 21st century besieged by the negative effects of their failure. Additional views taking exception to this conclusion are included. (RH)
