This week, Children Now released the 2020-21 California County Scorecard of Children’s Well-Being, an interactive tool that delivers data on how kids are doing in each of California’s 58 counties, and tracks 39 key indicators of children’s well-being – over time, by race/ethnicity and relative to other counties – from prenatal to the transition to adulthood. The focus, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, has been largely on adults – addressing issues related to the retail and entertainment economy and to seniors. Children Now has found that the outlook for California kids is troubling, as they are struggling disproportionately. Increasingly experiencing stress, social isolation, disconnectedness and serious mental health issues, the learning loss and lack of preventive health care because of the pandemic threatens this entire generation.
