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?
