- Living arrangements of low-income children may not play a key role in their well-being
11-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers looked at data on 2000 low-income families to compare the development of children living with only their mothers with children living with biological fathers, in blended families, and in multigenerational families. Findings indicated that children's performance on developmental assessments changed little after their mothers married. The research suggests that although living arrangements might be used to identify at-risk children, interventions targeting living arrangements may not be effective for improving well-being in low-income children.
