Synopsis:
The number 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? Children in Poverty examines these questions, focusing on the child rather than on parents' income or self-sufficiency.
Review: 'This is a timely and important book ... It is an intelligent book that provides perhaps the most comprehensive single source available today on the subject.' American Journal of Sociology
