Zero to Three’s State of Babies Yearbook: 2020

Zero to Three recently released The State of Babies Yearbook: 2020, which compares national and state-by-state information about the well-being of infants and toddlers. The Yearbook includes a spotlight on health equity for babies, state-by-state data and opportunities to take action by using planning, advocacy, and outreach tools.

The current state of babies tells an important story about what it is like to be a very young child in this country, and where we are headed as a nation. By nearly every measure, children living in poverty and children of color face the biggest obstacles, such as low birthweight, unstable housing, and limited access to quality child care.
