“…The relationship between food insecurity and poor health and nutritional status is well established among children generally, as is the relationship between resource deprivation generally and worsened educational outcomes, emotional health, and social development (Emerson, 2004; Ozawa, Joo, & Kim, 2004). Our findings are thus particularly worrisome for children whose disabilities and comorbid conditions already heighten their risk for poor health outcomes.…”

The authors examined food insecurity in households including children with disabilities, analyzing data from the 2004 and 2008 panels of the Survey of Income and Program Participation, which included 24,729 households with children, 3,948 of which had children with disabilities. Logistic regression models were used to estimate the likelihood of food insecurity after adjusting for adult disability status, income, and other sociodemographic factors. Compared to other households with children, those including children with disabilities were more likely to report household food insecurity of any kind, very low household food security, and child food insecurity. Families raising children with disabilities were also more likely to receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits. These results suggest that children with disabilities face an increased risk of experiencing food insecurity and that there is a pressing need to improve the safety net system for these children.

“…The needs of low-income children with disabilities have been a longstanding concern for practitioners, administrators, and policy makers. These concerns are related to the substantial evidence of adverse health, academic, behavioral, psychological, and social outcomes for children raised in poverty (Brooks-Gunn & Duncan, 1997;Emerson, 2004;Ozawa, Joo, & Kim, 2004). The 24th Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA; U.S. Department of Education, 2002) reiterated these concerns and contained extensive evidence of the worse academic, cognitive, and behavioral outcomes for low-income children who receive IDEA services.…”

Material Hardship in U.S. Families Raising Children with Disabilities

Researchers analyzed the 2002 wave of the National Survey of America's Families, conducted by the Urban Institute and Child Trends, and examined material hardship in families raising children with disabilities. Measures of hardship included food insecurity, housing instability, health care access, and telephone disconnection. The research indicated that families of children with disabilities experienced significantly greater hardship than did other families. As family income rose above the federal poverty level, hardship declined sharply for families of children without disabilities but not for families raising children with disabilities. Thus, the U.S. federal poverty level was found to be a particularly poor predictor of hardship for families raising children with disabilities. Finally, among families of children with disabilities, single-mother and cohabiting-partner families particularly were at risk for experiencing severe hardship. This article also discusses policy and advocacy implications.

“…Poverty can strongly affect children, and family income relates to child outcomes such as ability and achievement (Brooks‐Gunn & Duncan, ). Hence, in recent years considerable research has focused on the relationship between child poverty and well‐being (e.g., Bradshaw, ; Bradshaw, Hoelscher, & Richardson, ; OECD, ; Ozawa, Joo, & Kim, ; Prince, Pepper, & Brocato, ). Bradshaw () analysed child poverty and child well‐being in EU countries, determining that child deprivation and overall well‐being are highly related.…”

Reducing child poverty and assessing targeting performance: Governmental cash transfers in Taiwan

2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this study, we focused on child poverty and examined the targeting performance of governmental cash benefits in Taiwan, and whether they successfully alleviate child poverty when budget constraints are imposed. We employed data from the cross‐sectional Survey of Family Income and Expenditure 2010, which was conducted by the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting, and Statistics of the Executive Yuan in Taiwan. We investigated efficiency and effectiveness, using the IRIS, Beckerman, and Shapley approaches, to measure targeting performance. The results suggest that few transfer programmes perform well in terms of both target efficiency and effectiveness; this generates trade‐offs and paradoxes between efficiency or effectiveness, undercoverage or leakage, vertical or horizontal efficiency, and universal or selective benefits. We conclude by suggesting social policy implications based on the findings. Key Practitioner Message: ● Using different approach (targeting performance) to analyse child poverty; ● Using targeting efficiency and effectiveness to analyse whether governmental cash benefits ameliorate child poverty given specific budget constraints.
