Child Support Receipt and Child Poverty Among Custodial-Mother Families in Chile and Colombia: A Longitudinal Analysis
Children living in custodial-mother families are disproportionately poor as compared to children living with both parents. Child support from the noncustodial father is associated with lower poverty rates among custodial-mother families, suggesting that policies to promote child support payments improve the economic well-being of these families. Yet, we do not know whether child support remains a protective factor against child poverty when other…
Gender Differences in Early Child Development: Evidence from Large-Scale Studies of Very Young Children in Nine Countries
Some evidence suggests that there are significant gender gaps in early child development in low- and middle-income countries, with girls generally outperforming boys. However, few studies have tested for the existence of such gaps at a large scale. Our objective is to examine gender disparities in early child development in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Nicaragua, Peru, Senegal, and Uruguay, with 26,055 children aged 7 to 48 months. …
Does Couples’ Division of Labor Influence Union Dissolution? Evidence from Parents of Young Children in Chile
Center-Based Child Care and Differential Improvements in the Child Development Outcomes of Disadvantaged Children
Household structure across childhood in four lower- and middle-income countries
Using data from developing countries, we determine the proportion of children in these samples that experience stable household composition over childhood and the proportion of children that experience each stable household type. We also describe the most
Household transitions between ages 5 and 15 and educational outcomes: Fathers and grandparents in Peru
BACKGROUND: Latin America has high rates of single motherhood and intergenerational coresidence, resulting in children experiencing changes in household composition - particularly with respect to fathers and grandparents. In other contexts, such changes have been shown to influence educational outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To test if the presence of grandparents and fathers in the household are differentially associated with educational outcomes during sc…
Testing the Economic Independence Hypothesis: Union Formation Among Single Mothers in Chile
Despite the increasing proportion of single-mother families, the literature on union formation among unpartnered parents in Latin America is scant. Using a sample from a Chilean longitudinal survey ( N = 3,318), we estimated regression models to test associations between single mothers' economic resources in 2010 and coresidence with the biological father of their children in 2012. We also examined whether these associations differed in subgroups…
Greater functional connectivity between sensory networks is related to symptom severity in toddlers with autism spectrum disorder
BACKGROUND: Symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) emerge in the first years of life. Yet, little is known about the organization and development of functional brain networks in ASD proximally to the symptom onset. Further, the relationship between brain network connectivity and emerging ASD symptoms and overall functioning in early childhood is not well understood. METHODS: Resting-state fMRI data were acquired during natural sleep from 24 y…
Crop diversity is associated with higher child diet diversity in Ethiopia, particularly among low-income households, but not in Vietnam
Objectives: To examine associations of household crop diversity with school-aged child dietary diversity in Vietnam and Ethiopia and mechanisms underlying these associations. Design: We created a child diet diversity score (DDS) using data on seven food groups consumed in the last 24 h. Generalised estimating equations were used to model associations of household-level crop diversity, measured as a count of crop species richness (CSR) and of plan…
A conditional cash transfer and Women's empowerment: Does Bolsa Familia Influence intimate partner violence
Sex of children and family structure in Brazil: Father & Grandmother Bias
Brazil has a high rate of mothers living without a partner as well as a high intergenerational co-residence rate, including parents and grandparents. These family types may influence a child's well-being. Even though there is no evidence of sex-selective abortion in Brazil, sex preference could still be subtly present. This paper tests the composition of family structure (father co-residence, grandmother co-residence, and birth of siblings) in Br…
Mothers’ labor market choices and child development outcomes in Chile
This paper examines associations between labor market participation of Chilean mothers and the cognitive, language, and socio-economic development of their children. Using a nationally-representative sample of 3-year-old children, we test if mothers' work intensity in the two previous years is associated with child development outcomes; data were collected in 2010 when children were one year old, and again in 2012, when they were three years old.…
Disparities in children’s vocabulary and height in relation to household wealth and parental schooling: A longitudinal study in four low- and middle-income countries
Children from low socio-economic status (SES) households often demonstrate worse growth and developmental outcomes than wealthier children, in part because poor children face a broader range of risk factors. It is difficult to characterize the trajectories of SES disparities in low- and middle-income countries because longitudinal data are infrequently available. We analyze measures of children's linear growth (height) at ages 1, 5, 8 and 12y and…
