The numbers of children living in poverty in the United States
increased dramatically during the 1980s and remains high. Why are
so many children growing up in poor families? What are the effects
of poverty on children's physical, cognitive, social and emotional
development? What role can public policy and policy research play
in preventing or alleviating the damaging effects of poverty on
children? This book examines these questions, focusing on the
child, rather than on parents income or self-sufficiency. The
contributors come from diverse fields - economics, sociology,
public health, psychology, child development, and education
affording depth and wide coverage of the topic, and displaying an
even mix of research and applications. This book should appeal to
policy makers, advocates and scholars; although the contributors
use a data-driven approach, the text is accessible to a range of
people interested in policy issues.
