“First Phone Call Is Usually Family”
Objective We examine experiences of informal borrowing (from friends and family) among a sample of low‐income debtors. Background Low‐income populations often take on debt to cope with economic insecurity. However, most research on debt focuses on formal market debts (e.g., credit cards) even though research on informal exchanges identifies significant borrowing between family and friends. We ask how low‐income debtors navigate these informal cre…
Debt Strain and Child Protective Services Involvement
Research has identified a likely causal relation of economic precarity with both child maltreatment and child protective service (CPS) involvement. Yet, little is known about the relation between credit use (debt) and CPS involvement despite credit becoming an increasingly normative aspect of attempting to manage economic precarity for low-income families. We link individual-level longitudinal data on credit use to administrative records on CPS i…
Shared Care and Mothers’ Post-separation Economic Wellbeing in Finland and Wisconsin, US
Children’s post-separation living arrangements may have important implications for mothers’ economic wellbeing. This study examines self-reported economic wellbeing of mothers with shared versus sole physical custody (also known as shared care) of the child six or more years since separation, using unique survey data on separated parents in Finland (n = 850) and Wisconsin, US (n = 395) in 2019–2020. We use sequential logistic regression models to…
Children's living arrangements and labor market outcomes of divorced mothers in Wisconsin
Economic Wellbeing and Labor Supply Patterns of Subsequently Divorcing Mothers in Wisconsin
Economic Outcomes of Shared Placement among Divorced Mothers in Wisconsin
Children’s postdivorce placement arrangements have changed dramatically in recent decades, with growth in shared placement and decline in mother sole placement. This shift has potentially important—yet largely unexamined—implications for economic well-being, in part, because different policies and practices govern child support obligations in shared and sole-placement arrangements. Using Wisconsin court record data merged with administrative inco…
Abused but “Not Insulted”
The fourth round of the Indian National Family Health Survey shows that the proportion of women who felt that wife-beating was justified exceeded the proportion of men who felt so in India. We find that more than one-fourth of the women in India who have experienced spousal bodily violence say that they never felt insulted by the action of their husbands. We hypothesise that this absence of the feeling of insult despite facing physical violence i…
