Disproportionality refers to the differences in the percentage of children of a certain racial or ethnic group in the country as compared to the percentage of the children of the same group in the child welfare system. For example, in 2000 black children made up 15.1 percent of the children in this country but 36.6 percent of the children in the child welfare system.
