Experts
on child welfare policy discuss the gap between Black and White children in the
welfare system. They attempt to answer questions that have arisen from efforts
to understand this gap:
Does the
magnitude of the gap differ in different localities?
Do places
that have high disparity rates share other characteristics?
Are
factors such as family structure, unemployment, and parental education levels
related in any way to disparity rates?
If so,
how should what we learn about where disparity is greatest influence public
investments designed to promote greater equity for children and families?
