Ron Haskins, Marriage, Parenthood, and Public Policy, National Affairs 19, Spring (2014): 5572, at 60. Half of childrens biological fathers saw their children less than once a month, making effective parenting much less likely.56, The FFCWS also found that children in single-parent families are in consistently worse healthmore asthma, obesity, accidents, or injurieslikely contributing to greater school absenteeism, which leads to lower academic performance.57. 10, (1996): 71620, at 718 (Table 3). When brains absorb lead instead of calcium, connections essential to executive functions, like control of aggression, develop less adequately.114 Low-income childrens diets are lower in calcium than higher-income childrens; among low-income children, black childrens diets are lower in calcium than white childrens, making black children more likely to absorb lead.115.

Assuring parents of more predictable work schedules could provide them with opportunities to read more frequently to their children and/or to enroll them in Head Start or other quality early childhood programs. For example, asthmatic children who do not have inhalers are more likely to be awake at night, and come to school more drowsy and inattentive. See note 37. Isabel V.

According to the American Council on Education, enrollment is likely to drop by 15% in the fall of 2020, while at the same time many institutions may have to confront demands for large tuition cuts if classes remain virtual.1 In a similar vein, students face an increasingly uncertain environment, where nancial and 9 (2008): 120327, at 1224. Lower-middle-class children (those whose families are in the second income quartile) whose mothers have worked non-standard shifts for from one to four years have close to twice the odds of being overweight at age 13 or 14 as children from economically similar families whose mothers do not work non-standard shifts.72. 16 (2003): 151726. 69.

White parents are only two-thirds as likely to be assigned non-daytime shifts as minority parents. Explanation: EPIs research helps policymakers, opinion leaders, advocates, journalists, and the public understand the bread-and-butter issues affecting ordinary Americans. Although employer demands for evening and night work will continue, incentives are plausible to discourage employers from scheduling split or rotating shifts that impede employees ability to make consistent child care arrangements and provide stable home lives for children.

A more reliable measure than the ECLS-K on this score is the Bureau of Labor Statistics American Time Use Survey (ATUS), which also asks adults about educationally supportive activities.dTable 1 compares white to black adult reports. Because parents, especially single parents, with variable schedules cannot easily schedule doctor appointments, their children likely receive less non-emergency, routine, and preventive care.79 They may then have marginally worse health and more school absenteeism, also harming their development. How do taxes and spending work, and where do you fit in? The first manifest function of education is socialization, which refers to the process of learning the norms and values of one's culture. 31.

McLanahan et al., 2010. Therefore, this report can make no judgment about the relative importance of such adverse influences on children, although we can assert with confidence, based on available research, that each is quite important. We also underestimate harm by considering disadvantage only for individual children.

Many states scale child care subsidies to the number of hours parents work, so parents working irregular and variable schedules are at heightened risk of losing eligibility for subsidies and, when they do, can no longer afford to place their children in formal centers.73, Parents with non-standard schedules find it more difficult to spend time with children and engage in cognitively stimulating activities with them.74 For example, for low-income African American mothers of preschool children, each additional nighttime hour of work is associated with a decrease in cognitively stimulating mother-child activities of about 1.5 percentile points in a normal distribution of mothers engagement in such activities.

They consequently have lower average verbal and reading ability.103 Children with higher blood lead levels not only have lower standardized reading, math, and science test scores, but greater special education placement.104. For example, in 2010, the ratio of black to white median family income was 56 percent, while the ratio of black to white median family wealth was 5 percent, owing largely to 20th century housing policy that barred African Americans from purchasing suburban homes that later appreciated in value, a primary source of wealth for households.8. 7 (July 2011): 316. 42. Adulthood: family income 300% of poverty, Source: Grannis and Sawhill (2013);[44] Howard and Reeves (2014)[45]. 87. Thus, mothers who work a full eight-hour night shift decrease their engagement in cognitively stimulating mother-child activities by about 21 percentile points in such a distribution.75 Parents who work non-standard schedules are less able to spend time with their children, take care of their homes, have meals with their children, and, particularly in the case of fathers, be close to their children.

Remaining errors of fact or judgment, including failure to follow all the good advice we were given, is the responsibility of the authors alone. This option is more available to parents who are married, are older, have higher maternal education, and have higher family income. Among low-income African American mothers, those who are less educated tend to provide less assistance and be less supportive and encouraging of their children during home-based teachable tasks like puzzle-making.27 Because African American mothers have lower average education levels than white mothers, this finding can likely explain an overall racial difference in these parenting behaviors. For physician-population ratios in low-income neighborhoods to grow, medical schools should expand to graduate more physicians, and incentives should be revised to encourage new physicians to specialize in pediatrics or primary care. elements of a social system, such as a subgroup, a role, or a norm, have a "function" if they add to the fulfillment of one or more of the social needs of that system.7 An element of a social system has a "dysfunc-tion" if it hinders the fulfillment of one or more of the system's needs.

When disadvantaged children are concentrated in classrooms and schools, their difficulties are exacerbated. For example, because lead poisoning is linked to teen pregnancy, decreasing lower-social-class childrens lead poisoning could decrease single parenthood, with a consequent positive impact on the resources available to children of the next generation. For children born several decades ago (not shown in the table), lead most likely had a relatively more powerful role in depressing the outcomes of white children and of those whose parents were more educated and affluent than of black children and of those whose parents were less educated and affluent. We will consider these in future work. 3 (2009): 11134. Report of Advisory Committee on Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention. Atlanta: Centers for Disease Control, 2012.
