Why This Indicator Matters
Alabama's child population has been on a downward trend. This decrease will result in fewer workers to fill the vacancies of those retiring. We must ensure that all children are successful in school and able to go on to higher learning or obtain skills that will allow them to participate as a part of our our future workforce.

Notes
Population sub-groups are listed and referred to the way the agency or organization providing the data references the sub-groups. Though you will see varying nomenclature used, the way we refer to population sub-groups throughout the 2023 Alabama Kids Count Data Book is intentional in order to be as accurate as possible in representing the data.
