Level of Resources Versus Uncertainty of Resources: What Matters Most to Children Presented: San Francisco, CA, Population Association of America Meetings, 1995 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Children, Home Environment; Children, Poverty; Children, Well-Being; Disadvantaged, Economically; Family Resources; Life Course; Life Cycle Research; Poverty Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the process by which economic hardship, parental and community resources affect child well-being. We propose an analytic framework that adopts a life-course perspective and incorporates theoretical insights from sociology and psychology. Employing the data from the 1986-1992 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-Child Supplement (NLSY-CS), we construct the life histories of three cohorts of children and propose that different combinations of resource levels and changes and how they are experienced in different life domains through time will distinguish the life histories of children of stable low resources from those of unpredictable resources. |
