Hao, Yu; De France, Kalee; Evans, Gary W. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Childhood disadvantage is associated with psychological distress throughout the lifespan. Poor children are alleged to give up more often than their more privileged peers when facing challenges.

Robyne Garrett – Sport, Education and Society, 2024
Academic underachievement of students from disadvantaged backgrounds is an ongoing and unresolved problem.

Data Quality Campaign, 2022
For decades, schools nationwide have collected household income data to identify those eligible for free and reduced-price lunch programs.

Measures based on FRL data lack critical…

David M. Blau – State Education Standard, 2024
Children from low-income families face many social and economic disadvantages, and high-quality preschool can help to alleviate some of them. Is "preschool for all" the best way to extend preschool subsidies to unserved disadvantaged children? Fully funding such a policy would be costly, and it is likely that a significant minority of…

Jennie E. Brand – Russell Sage Foundation, 2023
Each year, millions of high school students consider whether to continue their schooling and attend and complete college.

State school finance systems can play an essential role in directing additional resources to schools serving economically disadvantaged students, and research suggests that these resources can make a measurable difference in student outcomes. The vast majority of states (45) allocate some funding to districts based on their enrollment of…

Green, Kerry M.; Doherty, Elaine E.; Bugbee, Brittany A. – Prevention Science, 2023
Health equity research has identified fundamental social causes of health, many of which disproportionately affect Black Americans, such as early life socioeconomic conditions, neighborhood disadvantage, and racial discrimination.

We examine the transition to adulthood in a poor, white, rural community in Appalachia. Young adults come of age in a context of persistent poverty, economic decline, an ongoing opioid and addiction crisis, and strong community norms about family and work bolstered by religious institutions. For low- income young adults in this community, this…

Khalid Arar; Denise Mifsud – Power and Education, 2024
It is widely agreed that the relationship between poverty and education is bi-directional: poor people lack access to a decent education, and without the latter people are often constrained to a life of poverty (Van der Berg, 2008). Poverty as a "lifetime, and life-wide status" thus develops into a self-fulfilling prophecy that is…

This article examines heterogeneity in adverse events and conditions and how low-income African American young adults respond.

Some individuals see their lives and plans derailed; others engage…
