The Changing Experience of Childhood: Families and Divorce
How Americans Responded: A Study of Public Reactions to 9/11/01
On the afternoon of Tuesday, September 11, 2001, a group of social scientists at the Institute for Social Research (ISR) gathered to consider how they might employ their talents to help the country after the shocking events of that morning. The group included economists, political scientists, psychologists, sociologists, demographers, and survey methodologists. Based upon their previous research experience, each of them proposed hypotheses on asp…
The Dynamics of Child Poverty in Industrialised Countries
A child poverty rate of ten percent could mean that every tenth child is always poor, or that all children are in poverty for one month in every ten. Knowing where reality lies between these extremes is vital to understanding the problem facing many countries of poverty among the young. This unique study goes beyond the standard analysis of child poverty based on poverty rates at one point in time and documents how much movement into and out of p…

Putting Fathers Back in the Picture: Parental Activities and Children's Adult Outcomes
Drawing on over a quarter of a century of Panel Study of Income Dynamics data, this paper examines links between childhood home environment (as reported by fathers during those childhood years) and children's outcomes in early adulthood. The emphasis is on the role of fathers and the unique contribution of their activities and characteristics to children's development, measured in terms of the children's completed schooling, wage rates, and nonma…

Timing of childhood events and early-adult household formation
Using data on annual patterns of family structure and other demographic and economic conditions throughout childhood, this chapter analyzes the relationship between developmental stage-specific childhood events and the timing of independence from the parental household
Assisting Young, Unmarried Mothers to Become Self-Sufficient: The Effects of Different Types of Early Economic Support

Effects of childhood poverty on productivity later in life: Implications for public policy
Patterns of Childhood Poverty: New Challenges for Policy
Poverty takes many forms. Using data from the U.S. Panel Study of Income Dynamics, this article (1) distinguishes different kinds of childhood poverty, defined in terms of the spacing, severity, and duration of spells; and (2) establishes the extent and distribution of childhood poverty, employing new measures that take into account both duration and severity. Some strategies for targeting assistance on particular forms of poverty are briefly con…
A New Approach To Poverty Dynamics
Une nouvel approach au dynamique de la pauvreté Une nouvelle approche de la dynamique de la pauvreté. Les études sur la pauvreté qui utilisent des données issues d'un panel ont du tenir compte du problème des périodes dissimulées (cette dissimulation se présente quand une période de pauvreté commence ou finit en dehors de la période d'observation du panel). La solution technique qui consiste à mélanger astucieusement simulation et analyse d'histo…

The Role of Economic Resources and Remarriage in Financial Assistance for Children of Divorce
Rarely can we view marital disruption and remarriage from the perspective of both exspouses despite the need to do so for understanding processes that leave many children without adequate support. Here, pairs of ex-spouses are tracked over time to observe the flow of resources from an absent father to his former family, how it shifts as the marital, economic, and geographic circumstances of the two ex-spouses change, and the extent to which it co…
Marital Stability and Spouses' Shared Time: A Multidisciplinary Hypothesis
Given the prominence of marital dissolution in American life in recent decades, it is important to understand what contributes to or deters it. This article focuses on spouses' shared leisure activities as a possible deterrent. An 'attachment hypothesis'- that spouses' shared leisure time is a form of pleasurable interaction that strengthens the attachment between them and helps prevent marital break-up at the time and into the future-is tested i…

Years of Poverty, Years of Plenty: The Changing Economic Fortunes of American Workers and Families
The Changing Nature of Poverty
Since the beginning of the War on Poverty, the poverty rate has fluctuated widely, and at the same time the poverty population has undergone many changes, some mirroring the changing stereotypes of the poor and others less pronounced than the changing stereotypes would lead us to believe. A feminization of poverty has occurred, with many more of the poor now in households headed by women. Interestingly, aging of the poverty population has not occ…

Unemployment and Poverty
This article looks at the relationship between unemployment and poverty for the period 1967-75. Looking at individuals in households, we find that the number of persons living in poverty would have been reduced by about 10 percent if all unemployment of household heads had been eliminated. Focusing on male household heads, we find that among prime-age men, the working poor were almost twice as likely as other workers to become unemployed and, whe…
The Wage Effects of Marital Status and Children
Using data from the ninth wave of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, changes in the wage effects of marital status and number-of-children for workers of the same race and sex are analyzed as more refined measures of work experience, training, and labor force attachment are substituted for conventional measures of these factors. The results indicate that number-of-children is a good proxy variable for differential work history and labor market at…
