| Abstract | This report presents results of an investigation of the economic and demographic characteristics of school-age children in families and changes in these characteristics between 1980 and 1990. The information was requested in connection with the reauthorization of Chapter 1 of Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. A particular focus was on national and state profiles of children in families with incomes below the poverty level. The analysis of decennial census data identified demographic changes that may have important implications for Chapter 1. For example, the school-age population declined by 2.3 million in the 1980s, but the number of poor school-age children increased by about 6 percent to 7.6 million, and became more racially and ethnically diverse. This population has become more concentrated in the West and Southwest, but significant concentrations of school-age poor remain in the South. The poor school-age population has also become more concentrated in cities. With no changes in Chapter 1 allocation formulas, these patterns will substantially affect the distribution of program funds. Other trends have been identified that impact other federal education programs such as the Bilingual Education Act. Five appendixes contain 32 tables and 32 figures presenting demographic information and characteristics of school-age children. (SLD) |
