How Childhood Adversity Impact Well-Being? A Mixed Methods Study in the Generation Xxi Cohort

ObjectiveThis research note investigates changes in American parents' financial investments in children during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as whether and how changes in parents' spending varied based on parental education.BackgroundParents purchase goods, experiences, and services that shape children's human capital and life chances.

The heterogeneous associations of universal cash-payouts with breastfeeding initiation and continuation
Existing health literature documents the benefits of breastfeeding for the first six months of life. Prior research on barriers to breastfeeding has focused on the role of hospital initiatives, return to work, and individual mothers' characteristics. This study uses data from Alaska's Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System and the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend, to investigate whether universal income support shapes mothers' breastfeeding be…
Excess” Doubling Up During Covid
The proportion of U.S. children living in doubled-up households, in which a child lives with a parent plus adult kin or nonkin, has increased in the last 40 years. Although shared living arrangements are often understood as a strategy to cope with crises, no research to date has examined changes in children's living arrangements during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. We use the American Community Survey and the Current Population Survey …
Public Cash Assistance and Spatial Predation
In the past 3 decades, there has been a general contraction of social support while the high-cost lending industry has expanded. We examine how state-level variation in the generosity of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) cash assistance affects the distribution of high-cost payday lenders across local communities between 2001 and 2017. When TANF support is relatively more generous, the density of payday lending storefronts increases …
Black–White disparities in nuclear family trajectories and parents' postsecondary transfers to adult children
Objective This study uses a life course perspective to investigate Black–White disparities in how nuclear family structures (i.e., parents' romantic union statuses and coresidential arrangements with children) are linked with postsecondary financial transfers. Background In the United States, both parents' nuclear family experiences and postsecondary transfers are stratified along racial lines. Prior research suggests that racial disparities in n…
Schedule Unpredictability and High-Cost Debt
High-cost financial services allow economically insecure families to make ends meet but often contribute to additional financial strain in the long run. This study uses novel data from the Shift Project to describe the link between schedule unpredictability and high-cost debt (i.e., payday loans, pawnshop loans, auto-title loans, overdrafts, and problematic credit card debt) among service workers. First, it compares the relative magnitude of the …
Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare Vol. 48, No. 1
Compared to affluent consumers, the consumption practices of poor and low-income consumers have received less attention in the global North, where they have been marginalized as flawed.This paper hopes to address this neglect by providing an exploratory profile of poor and low-income consumers in the United States.It will challenge that these consumers are flawed by explaining how they participate in consumer society via exploitative inclusion an…
Parental incarceration and child outcomes
The past 15 years of sociological scholarship assessing the intergenerational consequences of parental incarceration has produced a large body of work suggesting, on the aggregate, detrimental impacts on behavioral, educational, and health outcomes for American children. In this review, we briefly outline who is most at risk for experiencing parental incarceration, before providing an overview of recent multidisciplinary research on the impacts o…
A Convivência Das Racionalidades Camponesa E Econômica Num Assentamento Do Mst
O Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST) tem angariado diversas conquistas na consolidação de assentamentos pela reforma agrária no estado de Pernambuco. Nos assentamentos, o MST propõe uma forma de organização do trabalho peculiar, regida por lógicas diversas daquelas presentes nas agroindústrias. Isso instigou a curiosidade de conhecer qual a relação que os assentados estabelecem com o sistema produtor dominante e com a experiência …
