Children in Poverty: Child Development and Public Policy by Aletha C. Huston,
The number of children living in poverty in the United States increased dramatically during the 1980s and remains high. By 1985, twenty percent of all children lived in families subsisting below the poverty line; percentages for black and Hispanic children were notably higher. The articles in this book attempt to address three main issues: Why so many children grow up in poor families, what the effects of poverty on a child's physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development are, and what role can public policy and policy research play in preventing or alleviating the damaging effects of poverty on children? Most books on poverty focus on analysis of the parents' income, and policies are aimed at self-sufficiency. This book is unique because it is child-centered. It concludes that solving the problem of childhood poverty requires society to assume greater responsibility for providing aid directly influencing the child, such as child allowances, medical care, child care and child support.



Poverty and Single Parent Families: A Study of Minimal Subsistence Household Budgets by Trudi J. Renwick, X
Poverty and Single Parent Families: A Study of Minimal Subsistence Household Budgets by Trudi J. Renwick, X
This book proposes a new approach to setting poverty lines and estimating poverty rates for single parent families using Basic Needs Budgets that calculate how much single parent families need to live decently. The research finds that in 1996, the before-tax income needed to support the Basic Needs Budget for a single parent in a Northeastern central city employed outside the home was almost twice the official poverty threshold. When these thresholds are used to recalculate the major poverty statistics, the poverty rate of single parent families increases by almost 20%. The poverty rate of families receiving welfare benefits declines slightly, while the poverty rate of full-time workers almost triples. Unlike the official thresholds, the Basic Needs Budgets make allowances for the cost of child care services. The budgets are adjusted to reflect the reduced income needs of families receiving both public non-cash benefits and child care subsidies. They consider the impact of free child care services from relatives and employer-provided group health insurance on the cash required to make ends meet; take into account the significant regional differences in the cost of housing and transportation; and adjust the poverty thresholds for differences in family size. This important study demonstrates that most single parents cannot earn enough in the labor market to provide a decent standard of living for their families without subsidized child care and employer-paid group health insurance.
