erhaps the most troubling trend affecting the welfare of children has been the increase in the rate of poverty among children. In 1991, more than one in five children under 18 years of age lived in poverty; and among children under 6 years of age, the poverty rate was 24% (almost one of every four children in this age group was poor).1 In the Winter 1992 issue of The Future of Children, the Child Indicators section focused on how child poverty is measured and the composition of the population of poor children.2 This Child Indicators section examines why poverty among children has been increasing in recent years. It begins with a recapitulation of key definitional and conceptual points from the previous article and then examines the impact of economic and demographic trends and changes in government programs on the poverty status of children
