Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empirical evidence for several developed countries suggests that children live with only one biological parent are particularly likely to experience economic disadvantages, and that child support plays a significant role ameliorating these difficulties. The three empirical essays presented in this dissertation present distinct aspects of single parenthood and their association with children's education and poverty in the United States and South American countries. Chapter 2 uses unique longitudinal administrative data to examine the relationship between nonresident fathers' formal child support, established through a legal agreement, and children's reading and math test scores in the US. This study finds that formal support is positively associated with eighth-graders' test scores. However, small contributions, particularly those below the median, are not significantly linked to children's scores. The findings also indicate that formal support is more important for low-income children's achievement than for their economically advantaged peers. Chapter 3 studies the association between living arrangements and children's math and reading test scores across five South American countries: Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Uruguay. Using cross-sectional data from 2013, I find that living in an extended household benefits children from single-parent families but not their peers from two-parent families. Children in extended households experience larger educational disadvantages in Chile and Uruguay, where this type of arrangement has not been historically common, than in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Chapter 4 uses data from the National Household Surveys from the period 2011-2015 to explore the role of child support in the economic well-being of Peruvian children, differentiating between urban and rural areas. The results indicate that child support is a relevant source of income for those families who receive it, especially those living in poverty. Among child support recipients, child support brought 44 percent of children out of poverty and 81 percent out of extreme poverty. Among support recipients who were poor pre-support, the poverty gap post-support is significantly reduced to almost a third. The descriptive analyses also show that child support contributes more to the reduction of poverty in urban than in rural areas. Chapter 5 includes implications for policy and research.

Download or read book Gender Families and State written by Jyl J. Josephson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 1997 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This insightful and original book is the first to examine the relationship between families and the state in the United States, both in theory and in practice, using child support policy as a lens of analysis. Josephson cogently presents the origins, evolution, and organization of federal child support programs and persuasively demonstrates how some child support enforcement policies, rather than increasing women's access to economic resources, expand government and social control over the beneficiaries. Drawing on the literature of both feminist political theory and public policy implementation, Josephson analyzes the impact of family law and social welfare policies through several empirical case studies. This is important reading for anyone interested in political theory, public policy, and women's relationship to the state.
Download or read book Three Studies on Family Well being and Child Support written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the effects of child support on the wellbeing of custodial-mother families. In the first study I examine whether child support affects the labor supply of custodial mothers participating in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. I use data from the Wisconsin Child Support Demonstration Evaluation (CSDE). Unlike previous nonexperimental research, I do not find any negative effect of child support on the likelihood of working for pay and hours worked of custodial mothers. Recent U.S. social welfare policies have focused on increasing both custodial mothers' child support collections and their labor supply. The results suggest that these may be compatible policies; the absence of a negative labor supply effect strengthens the potential antipoverty effectiveness of child support. In the second and third studies I focus on the associations of child support with outcomes that are likely to affect the economic wellbeing of children in custodial-mother families as adults. In the second study I use the Colombian Quality of Life Survey to study the role of child support on food insecurity. Multivariate analyses show that families receiving child support are less likely to experience inadequate consumption of food. This association is particularly concentrated among single-mother families and families headed by younger mothers. Overall, these results suggest that policies that increase child support receipt in less-developed countries like Colombia are likely to decrease food insecurity among custodial-mother families. In the third study I use the Colombian Longitudinal Survey of Wealth, Income, Labor and Land (ELCA) to examine the association of child support with child chronic malnutrition. I use different approaches in order to minimize bias for unobserved heterogeneity between children who receive and do not receive child support, including probit regressions with extensive controls and propensity score matching techniques. Results suggest that child support is negatively associated with chronic malnutrition among young children in urban Colombia. Children who benefit from this transfer are between 8 and 10 percentage points less likely to experience chronic malnutrition.

This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the effects of child support payments on the educational attainment of young adults in the United States during the 1980s. This study uses the human capital and household production models to examine the effect of child support income and other family income on the educational attainment of children. Investments in children’s human capital are made with inputs of time and market goods and services. The focus of this book is on schooling as an investment in children’s human capital. This book may be a useful resource for researchers in a variety of disciplines who are interested in examining the effect of different legislative actions on the well-being of children. In addition, this study may be used as a supplemental reading in a number of academic settings, such as economics, sociology, and public policy.

This book was released on 2001-05-29 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On August 22, 1996, President William Clinton signed into law the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996. Media and goververnment sources portrayed this act as the most important welfare reform since the passage of Social Security in the New Deal 61 years earlier. The hype around welfare reform overshadowed a significant section of the act entitled, “Title III—Child Support.” This section of the act made major changes in the child support program that is charged with the task of establishing, enforcing and modifying child support orders for children with non-residential parents. This book tells the story of the development and passage of the 1996 child support reforms.
