Description: The Social Health of the Nation is a guide to the true state of the nation. For the past twelve years, the annual release of the author's Index of Social Health has been a major event, covered extensively in the national media as a unique and reliable barometer of America's progress in addressing social conditions. In this book, the authors build on the work of the Index, offering a fuller and deeper view of our quality of life. Readers will get important information about drug abuse, children in poverty, life expectancy, crime, and health insurance coverage. These social indicators fill in the important and vital blanks after all the economic indicators have been posted.
