Evaluating the State EITC Expansion on Children's Health Issue Brief No. 48, Carsey Institute, Spring 2012. Also: http://carseyinstitute.unh.edu/publication/effects-state-eitc-expansion-children%E2%80%99s-health Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Carsey Institute Keyword(s): Body Mass Index (BMI); Child Health; Children, Illness; Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC); Health Care; Insurance, Health; Obesity; Taxes Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This brief examines the impact of state-level adoption of EITCs on a set of health-related outcomes for children, including: (1) health insurance coverage, (2) use of preventive medical and dental care, and (3) health status measures including maternal reports of child health and body mass index (BMI). It also considers the possibility that the effect of the EITC on these outcomes may vary depending on where a child lives; families in urban and rural communities have different access to medical care and other resources that promote good health. |

Family-friendly Policies for Rural Working Mothers Policy Brief No 15, Carsey Institute, Dunham, NH: University of New Hampshire, Summer 2009. Also: http://www.carseyinstitute.unh.edu/publications/PB_FamilyPolicies_09.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Carsey Institute Keyword(s): Census of Population; Education; Income; Insurance, Health; Job Training; Labor Force Participation; Leave, Family or Maternity/Paternity; Occupational Status; Rural Women; Rural/Urban Differences; Women Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This brief presents an analysis of differences in access to family-friendly policies between rural and urban mothers. Rural Americans are disadvantaged in income, education, and employment (see Table 1). As this brief shows, they are also less likely to have access to family-friendly policies. Compared to urban mothers, rural mothers are less likely to have access to paid sick days, health insurance, dental insurance, parental leave, flextime, and job training. Single mothers in rural America fare the worst, primarily because they have less education, they work for smaller firms, and they work in occupations and industries that are less likely to offer family-friendly benefits. |
