The "State of the Young Hoosier Child" Report
Multiple factors contribute to the well-being of Indiana's youngest children and their families. A child's ability to learn and stay healthy can be determined in part by his early childhood experiences-or even before he is born. These experiences can have a lasting effect on children, even as they mature into adulthood. Researchers have found that many adult health problems, for example, can be attributed to early childhood experiences. In addition, children who received a high-quality education are likely to earn more, pay more taxes, and commit fewer crimes as adults.
