The report is comprised of eight sections: an overview; Nevada's demographic profile; key facts regarding children in the state; Nevada's comparison to the rest of the United States; trends in the state; indicators of child well-being; references; and definitions and data sources. Sixteen indicators are utilized to describe the quality of life: (1) percent of low birth-weight babies; (2) infant mortality rate; (3) trend data of children in poverty; (4) single parent families; (5) families in poverty; (6) teen birth rate; (7) unmarried teen birth rate; (8) high school dropouts and graduates; (9) teens not in school and not working; (10) child death rate; (11) child abuse and neglect report rate; (12) child maltreatment report trends; (13) percent and type of child maltreatment; (14) juvenile violent crime arrest rate; (15) teen violent death rate; and (16) teen suicide rate. Some key facts about Nevada's children are: (1) the teen birth rate has risen more than twice as fast as the national rate; (2) Nevada ranked 45th in the nation on the immunization rate of 2-year-olds; (3) the juvenile violent crime arrest rate increased by 49%; (4) the infant mortality rate is improving; (5) the median hourly wage for child-care workers is just below the national average; and (6) 22% of children under age 13 live in low-income, working families.
