Racial and Ethnic Disparities DEFINITION Racial and ethnic disparities is the gap that exists in outcomes for children of different racial and ethnic groups in Rhode Island. Child well-being outcome areas include economic well-being, health, safety and education. SIGNIFICANCE Rhode Island’s children are diverse in racial and ethnic background. Between 2006 and 2008, 74% of Rhode Island children were White, 7% were Black, 3% were Asian, 1% were Native American, 11% identified as “some other race,” 4% identified as two or more races, and 19% of the Rhode Island child population were Hispanic. (Hispanic children are also included in the other racial categories). 1 Children who grow up in poverty are more likely to be exposed to social and environmental factors that can have a negative impact on their opportunities to thrive. 2 Between 2006 and 2008, 16% of all Rhode Island children lived in poverty, 52% of whom were minorities. 3,4 Black and Hispanic children are more likely than White children to live in neighborhoods that lack the resources needed for them to grow up healthy and successful, regardless of family income levels. 5 In 2000, more than threequarters (78%) of Rhode Island’s minority children lived in one of the six core cities (those cities with 15% or more of children living in poverty). In 2000, approximately three-quarters of the children in Providence (76%) and Central Falls (72%) were of minority racial and ethnic backgrounds. In several high-poverty neighborhoods of Providence, minority children accounted for more than 90% of all children in 2000. 6,7 Residential segregation between Whites and Blacks has decreased in the U.S. since the 1960s, but high levels of residential segregation still exist, particularly in urban areas. Hispanic and Asian residential segregation from Whites has been increasing in recent years. 8 The Providence-Fall River- Warwick metropolitan area was the second most segregated metropolitan area in the nation for Hispanics in 2000. 9 In good economic climates, minority families are less likely to be employed, have higher poverty rates and receive lower wages than White families. Minority families also face greater negative impacts during economic recessions and their recovery from economic downturns is slower than that of White families. Even when controlling for educational achievement, age and gender, minority workers have consistently higher unemployment rates than White workers. 10,11 20 2010 Rhode Island KIDS COUNT Factbook / Family and Community 10 30 20 10 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 0 Residential Segregation in the United States ◆ As 10 a result of significant residential segregation in the U.S., Black and Hispanic 0 students are now more segregated from White students than at any point in the past four decades. The vast majority of educational segregation occurs between (not within) school districts, 100% with very high concentrations of minority students in urban districts. 12,13 90% 80% ◆ 70% Most urban communities have high concentrations of poverty, which can be related to unequal 60% educational opportunities. School district boundaries often determine access to 50% challenging curricula, academic expectations, educator quality, facilities quality, adequacy 40% of school funding, access to instructional supports (like technology), and school safety. 14,15 30% 20% 10% 0% 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 20% 23% 26% 6% 6% 9% Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Fourth Grade Rhode Vermont Reading Proficiency Rates, Hampshire Rhode Island, 2005-2009 Connecticut Maine Massachusetts New United States Black Hispanic Asian Native American White 70% 60% 56% 36% 32% 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Source: Rhode Island Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP), 2005-2009. ◆ In Rhode Island between 2005 and 2009, White fourth-graders were more likely to achieve the proficient level on the NECAP exam than minority fourth-graders. 16 ◆ Minority students are much less likely to graduate from high school, go to college, and graduate from college than their White peers. Poverty has been shown to drive much of the racial difference in these outcomes. 17,18,19,20 ◆ Factors that contribute to educational achievement gaps include school factors, family participation and inclusion in schools, and non-school factors (e.g., poor child health and access to out-of-school learning opportunities). 21,22,23 22% 75% 73% 49% 47% 43%
