Book Synopsis Children of the Great Recession by : Irwin Garfinkel
Download or read book Children of the Great Recession written by Irwin Garfinkel and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2016-08-21 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many working families continue to struggle in the aftermath of the Great Recession, the deepest and longest economic downturn since the Great Depression. In Children of the Great Recession, a group of leading scholars draw from a unique study of nearly 5,000 economically and ethnically diverse families in twenty cities to analyze the effects of the Great Recession on parents and young children. By exploring the discrepancies in outcomes between these families—particularly between those headed by parents with college degrees and those without—this timely book shows how the most disadvantaged families have continued to suffer as a result of the Great Recession. Several contributors examine the recession’s impact on the economic well-being of families, including changes to income, poverty levels, and economic insecurity. Irwin Garfinkel and Natasha Pilkauskas find that in cities with high unemployment rates during the recession, incomes for families with a college-educated mother fell by only about 5 percent, whereas families without college degrees experienced income losses three to four times greater. Garfinkel and Pilkauskas also show that the number of non-college-educated families enrolled in federal safety net programs—including Medicaid, the Earned Income Tax Credit, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (or food stamps)—grew rapidly in response to the Great Recession. Other researchers examine how parents’ physical and emotional health, relationship stability, and parenting behavior changed over the course of the recession. Janet Currie and Valentina Duque find that while mothers and fathers across all education groups experienced more health problems as a result of the downturn, health disparities by education widened. Daniel Schneider, Sara McLanahan and Kristin Harknett find decreases in marriage and cohabitation rates among less-educated families, and Ronald Mincy and Elia de la Cruz-Toledo show that as unemployment rates increased, nonresident fathers’ child support payments decreased. William Schneider, Jeanne Brooks-Gunn, and Jane Waldfogel show that fluctuations in unemployment rates negatively affected parenting quality and child well-being, particularly for families where the mother did not have a four-year college degree. Although the recession affected most Americans, Children of the Great Recession reveals how vulnerable parents and children paid a higher price. The research in this volume suggests that policies that boost college access and reinforce the safety net could help protect disadvantaged families in times of economic crisis.
Book Synopsis Children and Youth in Crisis by : Mattias Lundberg
Download or read book Children and Youth in Crisis written by Mattias Lundberg and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2012-06-29 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The successful development of children and young people requires that we protect and nurture a set of interrelated physiological, cognitive, and socio-emotional systems. What happens to these systems in early life can have long-term consequences and can even carry over to the next generation. The impact of economic crises on human development is similarly complex and heterogeneous. Some families and some young people display astonishing resilience – either by being comparatively unscathed by crises or by their ability to recover quickly and healthily. Other families and individuals may be unable to prevent exposure, unable to protect themselves, or may not have the same capacity to adapt positively when exposed to a crisis, with potentially serious long-term consequences for healthy development. Human development lies at the intersections of neurology and sociology, genetics and psychology, biology and economics; and this volume approaches the study of shocks and human development from a variety of disciplinary perspectives: economics, sociology, anthropology, and social and developmental psychology. This volume describes the impact of aggregate shocks on human development, and the subtle and intricate settings and pathways through which individuals can be affected. Depending on the timing, duration, transmission mechanisms, and context, the consequences for children's physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional development may be costly and irreversible. Fortunately, although children suffer in adversity, they can also benefit positively when exposed to enriching environments. We need to develop and implement effective interventions to prevent the worst consequences of exposure to shocks, and to assist families and young people to recover. This volume explores what we know about protecting young people from lasting harm and promoting healthy development through a crisis. This volume is intended for policymakers, civil society, and others engaged in promoting and protecting human development and in designing and implementing safety nets during crisis. This is a novel approach as it incorporates the experiences from such diverse disciplines to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex interactions that define human development.
Book Synopsis Children of the Recession by : United Nations Publications
Download or read book Children of the Recession written by United Nations Publications and published by UN. This book was released on 2014 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The data and observations in this Innocenti Report Card reveal a strong and multifaceted correlation between the impact of the Great Recession on national economies and a decline in children's well-being since 2008. Children are suffering most, and will bear the consequences longest, in countries where the recession has hit hardest. For each country, the extent and character of the crisis's impact on children has been shaped by the depth of the recession, pre-existing economic conditions, the strength of the social safety net and, most importantly, policy responses. Remarkably, amid this unprecedented social crisis, many countries have managed to limit - or even reduce - child poverty. It was by no means inevitable, then, that children would be the most enduring victims of the recession.
Book Synopsis Children of Austerity by : Bea Cantillon
Download or read book Children of Austerity written by Bea Cantillon and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2008 financial crisis triggered the worst global recession since the Great Depression. Many OECD countries responded to the crisis by reducing social spending. Through 11 diverse country case studies (Belgium, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, and the United States), this volume describes the evolution of child poverty and material well-being during the crisis, and links these outcomes with the responses by governments. The analysis underlines that countries with fragmented social protection systems were less able to protect the incomes of households with children at the time when unemployment soared. In contrast, countries with more comprehensive social protection cushioned the impact of the crisis on households with children, especially if they had implemented fiscal stimulus packages at the onset of the crisis. Although the macroeconomic 'shock' itself and the starting positions differed greatly across countries, while the responses by governments covered a very wide range of policy levers and varied with their circumstances, cuts in social spending and tax increases often played a major role in the impact that the crisis had on the living standards of families and children.

Book Synopsis Simulating the Impact of the Global Economic Crisis and Policy Responses on Children in West and Central Africa by : John Cockburn
Download or read book Simulating the Impact of the Global Economic Crisis and Policy Responses on Children in West and Central Africa written by John Cockburn and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current global financial and economic crisis, which exacerbates the impacts of the energy and food crises that immediately preceded it, has spread to the developing countries endangering recent gains in terms of economic growth and poverty reduction. The effects of the crisis are likely to vary substantially between countries and between individuals within the same country. Children are among the most vulnerable population, particularly in a period of crisis. Especially in least developed countries, where social safety nets programs are missing or poorly performing and public fiscal space is extremely limited, households with few economic opportunities are at a higher risk of falling into (monetary) poverty, suffering from hunger, removing children from school and into work, and losing access to health services. This study simulates the impacts of the global economic crisis and alternative policy responses on different dimensions of child welfare in Western and Central Africa (WCA) over the period 2009-2011. It is based on country studies for Burkina Faso, Cameroon, and Ghana, which broadly represent the diversity of economic conditions in WCA countries. In order to capture the complex macro-economic effects of the crisis and the various policy responses - on trade, investment, remittances, aid flows, goods and factor markets - and to then trace their consequences in terms of child welfare - monetary poverty, hunger (caloric poverty), school participation, child labour, and access to health services - a combination of macro - and micro-analysis was adopted. The simulations suggest that the strongest effects are registered in terms of monetary poverty and hunger, although large differences between countries emerge. More moderate impacts are predicted in terms of school participation, child labour, and access to health care, although these are still significant and require urgent policy responses. Specifically, Ghana is the country where children are predicted to suffer the most in terms of monetary poverty and hunger, while Burkina Faso is where the largest deterioration's in schooling, child labour and access to health services are simulated. Among the policy responses examined to counteract the negative effects of the crisis on child well-being, a targeted cash transfer to predicted poor children is by far the most effective program. A comparison between a universal and targeted approach is also presented.
Book Synopsis The Body Economic by : David Stuckler
Download or read book The Body Economic written by David Stuckler and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2013-05-21 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Politicians have talked endlessly about the seismic economic and social impacts of the recent financial crisis, but many continue to ignore its disastrous effects on human health—and have even exacerbated them, by adopting harsh austerity measures and cutting key social programs at a time when constituents need them most. The result, as pioneering public health experts David Stuckler and Sanjay Basu reveal in this provocative book, is that many countries have turned their recessions into veritable epidemics, ruining or extinguishing thousands of lives in a misguided attempt to balance budgets and shore up financial markets. Yet sound alternative policies could instead help improve economies and protect public health at the same time. In The Body Economic, Stuckler and Basu mine data from around the globe and throughout history to show how government policy becomes a matter of life and death during financial crises. In a series of historical case studies stretching from 1930s America, to Russia and Indonesia in the 1990s, to present-day Greece, Britain, Spain, and the U.S., Stuckler and Basu reveal that governmental mismanagement of financial strife has resulted in a grim array of human tragedies, from suicides to HIV infections. Yet people can and do stay healthy, and even get healthier, during downturns. During the Great Depression, U.S. deaths actually plummeted, and today Iceland, Norway, and Japan are happier and healthier than ever, proof that public wellbeing need not be sacrificed for fiscal health. Full of shocking and counterintuitive revelations and bold policy recommendations, The Body Economic offers an alternative to austerity—one that will prevent widespread suffering, both now and in the future.

Book Synopsis A Decade after the Global Recession by : M. Ayhan Kose
Download or read book A Decade after the Global Recession written by M. Ayhan Kose and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2021-03-19 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This year marks the tenth anniversary of the 2009 global recession. Most emerging market and developing economies weathered the global recession relatively well, in part by using the sizable fiscal and monetary policy ammunition accumulated during prior years of strong growth. However, their growth prospects have weakened since then, and many now have less policy space. This study provides the first comprehensive stocktaking of the past decade from the perspective of emerging market and developing economies. Many of these economies have now become more vulnerable to economic shocks. The study discusses lessons from the global recession and policy options for these economies to strengthen growth and prepare for the possibility of another global downturn.

Book Synopsis How the Economic and Financial Crisis is Affecting Children and Young People in Europe by : Jana Hainsworth

This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two years after the crisis broke out its impact on the daily lives of millions of families, children and young people is clearly perceptible. Although the impact of the crisis is by no means uniform across the EU, evidence suggests that children and families are being disproportionally affected. According to Eurochild's members, the global economic and financial crisis has a severe impact on the daily lives of children and young people in Europe. Consequences are multiple and of different nature: Absolute poverty levels are on the rise, in consequence of rising unemployment across the EU or falling salaries; Unemployment hits marginalised groups hardest, including Roma and migrant workers. Children of migrant workers, who are forced to return home, face many challenges reintegrating into an unfamiliar education system, especially (as is usually the case) if left without any professional support; Salary cuts increase in-work poverty levels, public sector wages being particularly at stake, in Latvia and Romania they were cut by 25%; Young people lack job prospects, as it is particularly difficult for them to find an employment once they leave/finish their education/training. There is a risk that those leaving in impoverished, 'gang-affected' areas may turn to crime and informal economies as a means of survival; Numbers of children at risk or in the public care system is growing, due to the fact that parents' ability to provide for their children both materially and emotionally is undermined; Children's mental health is suffering, overall emotional well-being and capacity to learn being negatively affected by the crisis. A rise in drug and alcohol abuse among young people is evenly reported; Squeezed family budgets affect children's diet and health, reduced budgets forcing families to buy less nutritious food . Family tensions and discrimination are rising. Worries about job security and income are not only cited as main reasons for tension in family relationships, but also may lead to an increase in xenophobic and nationalistic discourses, which further marginalizes migrant or minority families and children, already often living in a precarious situation. While the European economies start to recover, the recession continues to claim victims as the public and private sector adjust to new financial and economic uncertainty, by cutting their spending. Reduced budgets on national level mean restrained income of local authorities, who are also looking to make savings where possible. As much of the direct funding for child and family services comes from local authorities, child and family services at local level are under further threat. In addition, governments are now also reneging on past commitments to children and families, when it comes to deletion of governmental structures devoted to child related issues. European governments struggling with public deficits seem to forget that supporting every child to realise their full potential is not only a moral obligation, but also an economic necessity. Efforts should be made to: Ensure a quality work/family life balance for parents, as having a job remains the best safeguard against poverty; Strengthen early intervention and prevention services for families, because it is crucial that families and parents are given the necessary support before problems escalate and children's well-being and mental health is at risk; Ensure access to high quality inclusive education for all, seen that education plays a crucial role in preventing and breaking the poverty cycle, including pre-school service provision; Invest and protect children's mental health and well-being, as an early exposure to risk factors (e.g. alcohol consumption) and poverty and inequality in youth (e.g. living in low-income households, growing up in a disadvantaged neighbourhood) can increase mental health problems and lead to poorer outcomes later in life; Protect and increase budgets targeting children and families, seen that social transfers have already proved to have an important impact on reducing child poverty (over 60% of reduced child poverty in Sweden or in Finland, 39% in the EU); Strengthen family- and community-based care for children in alternative care, bearing in mind that children who are unable to grow up with their biological parents are particularly vulnerable. It is crucial that services are strengthened to prevent children from unnecessarily being taken into public care. Furthermore, efforts on de-institutionalisation must be reinforced, including investment to improve the provision and quality of foster care services. Provision of all these services must be seen by governments as an investment and not as a financial cost. Investment in services for children is not just important because of the benefits for children in the longer-term and the savings to society by not having to deal with the consequences of failure, but also because investment in public services contributes to economic stimulation and growth. Investing wisely in children today could help mitigate the long-term negative impact of the crisis, from which the whole society would benefit. Children's well-being and eradication of child poverty must therefore be a priority of government policy in efforts to learn the lessons from the economic crisis.
