The Promise of Early Interventions for Improving Socioeconomic Outcomes of Black Men Research and Policy Brief, Urban Institute, February 5, 2015. Also: http://www.urban.org/research/publication/promise-early-interventions-improving-socioeconomic-outcomes-black-men Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Urban Institute Keyword(s): Birthweight; Educational Attainment; Educational Outcomes; Gender Differences; High School Dropouts; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Modeling, Simulation; Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Reading); Racial Differences This brief uses the Social Genome Model to assess the potential impact of various childhood and adolescent interventions on long-term outcomes for black men. In particular, we see that increasing parental emotional support and cognitive stimulation during early childhood and raising reading ability levels in mid-childhood have the greatest impact on later life educational attainment and income. The overall effects of successful interventions are modest for the entire population of black men but are somewhat larger for individuals that would be directly affected by the interventions. Our findings suggest that making substantial progress in improving the outcomes of black men will likely require many different interventions that reinforce one another throughout the life course. |

The Social Genome Model: Estimating How Policies Affect Outcomes, Mobility and Inequality across the Life Course Journal of Social Issues 72,4 (December 2016): 656-675. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/josi.12188/abstract Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Children, Poverty; Disadvantaged, Economically; Educational Outcomes; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Life Cycle Research; Mobility, Social; Poverty Persistently high poverty among families with children, a lack of equal opportunity, stalled intergenerational mobility, and inequality have all risen up the agenda for federal, state, and local policymakers. Children born into low-income families face barriers to success in each stage of life from birth till age 40. Using data on a representative group of American children and a life cycle model to track their progress from the earliest years through school and beyond, we show that well-evaluated, targeted interventions can close over 80% of the gap between more and less advantaged children in the proportion that ends up middle class by middle age. These interventions can also greatly improve social mobility and enhance the lifetime incomes of less advantaged children. |
