Mothers’ Nonstandard Work Schedules, Economic Hardship, and Children’s Outcomes
The authors investigate the moderating role of three dimensions of economic hardship on the relationship between maternal nonstandard work schedules (working evening, nights, or weekends) and children’s behavioral and cognitive outcomes at age five in the United Kingdom. The literature on the relationship between nonstandard work and child development in early childhood has not taken into consideration the potentially important role of families’ …
Supplemental nutrition assistance program and parents’ time investments in children
An emerging literature explores whether social policy programs have benefits to families and their children, above and beyond economic and human capital outcomes. We investigate whether the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), an anti-poverty program, is associated with the time that parents invest in their children. We assess the association between SNAP and parental time investments by leveraging the temporary expansion of SNAP ben…
Poverty, Material Hardship, and Children’s Outcomes
There are four distinct, related types of material hardship-basic expense hardship, food insecurity, housing hardship, and medical hardship. Extant research has not sufficiently accounted for the complex relationships between these different types of material hardship. Using 1997 and 2002 data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics Child Development Study on a national sample of 3- to 17-year-old children ( N = 3563), this study describes the pr…
Associations Between Perceived Material Deprivation, Parents’ Discipline Practices, and Children's Behavior Problems
This study investigated the association between perceived material deprivation, children's behavior problems, and parents’ disciplinary practices. The sample included 1,418 8- to 12-year-old children and their parents in China, Colombia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, the Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, and the United States. Multilevel mixed- and fixed-effects regression models found that, even when income remained stable, perceived material deprivation w…
Income inequality and child maltreatment risk during economic recession
Many Kinds of Poverty
Income poverty, material deprivation, and subjective financial stress are three distinct dimensions of economic hardship. The majority of the theoretical and empirical literature on the effects of economic hardship on children has treated material deprivation and subjective financial stress as only mediators of the effects of income poverty, not considering the independent effects of each dimension or the effects of their combinations. Using nati…
Daily Food Insufficiency and Worry among Economically Disadvantaged Families with Young Children
Objective: To examine how reports of food insecurity vary daily among low-income parents of young children.Background: The material and emotional components of food insecurity have negative consequences for children and can have negative implications for family life. Though the overall influence of food insecurity on parents and children is well-established, little is understood about possible instability in food insecurity. This paper examines t…
Family planning and resilience
Using 2016 household survey data from Tanzania, we define and measure resilience within the context of Population, Health, and Environment programming and quantify the link between resilience and family planning. We created a multicomponent model using confirmatory factor analysis in a structural equation modeling context. Factor loadings for eight defined latent factors of resilience were statistically significant ( p p < 0.01), suggesting that …
Local Job Losses and Child Maltreatment
A growing body of literature suggests that economic downturns predict an increase in child maltreatment. However, to inform policies and practices to prevent and intervene in child maltreatment, it is necessary to identify how, when, and under what conditions community-level economic conditions affect child maltreatment. In this study, we use North Carolina administrative data from 2006 to 2011 on child maltreatment reports and job losses to dist…
Use of Informal Safety Nets during the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Benefit Cycle
Poor families often combine public benefits with social network and community resources to cope with economic instability. This study shows that decisions to combine formal and informal resources are as dynamic as the economic instability they are intended to buffer. Using survey data of poor families receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits in Durham, North Carolina, this study takes advantage of the within-month econo…
