Annie E. Casey Foundation, June 2017. The KIDS COUNT Data Book highlights the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit (CTC) as critical policies to reduce child poverty and ensure better educational and health outcomes. The Data Book ranks states on overall child-well being and proposes policy solutions that would make the U.S. a better place for kids to grow up. http://www.aecf.org/m/resourcedoc/aecf-2017kidscountdatabook.pdf
