How Did the Increase in Economic Inequality between 1970 and 1990 Affect Children's Educational Attainment
This study estimates the effect of changes in economic inequality between 1970 and 1990 on children’s educational attainment. Data on individual children from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics is combined with other data on state characteristics. Growing up in a state with widespread economic inequality increases educational attainment for high‐income children and lowers it for low‐income children. Most of the effect is due to factors unassociat…

Children from poor families generally do a lot worse than children from affluent families. They are more likely to develop behavioural problems, to score lower on standard tests, and to become adults in need of public assistance. This book asks whether income directly affects children's life chances, or if the factors that cause parents to have a low income also impede their children's life chances. The question of causation is explored, comparin…

Child Poverty and Public Policy
To understand the complex nature of child poverty in the United States today, one must approach it from a variety of perspectives: case studies, demographics, human capital theory, and causal analysis. Chafel does this and takes the reader a step further, discussing the problems and opportunities involved in harnessing public support for policy action on behalf of poor children and analyzing the record of the 101st (children's) Congress and socia…

Poverty and the Distribution of Material Hardship
Public concern with poverty derives in large part from the assumption that low income families cannot afford necessities. Yet official poverty statistics focus on measuring income, not on measuring material hardship. Two surveys of Chicago residents measure whether families could afford food, housing and medical care. A family's official income-to-needs ratio explained 24 percent of the variance in the amount of material hardship it reported. Adj…
Assessing Discrimination
Since the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, various forms of employment discrimination have been prohibited by law. The courts have enforced these laws vigorously, often requiring plaintiffs and defendants to present quantitative analyses of applicant and employee records as evidence. In fact, statistical analyses have become a regular feature of employment discrimination cases. Consequently, there has been an explosion of interest in the …
