Abstract

Early years practitioners are integral to government policy on addressing child poverty in the UK. Drawing on findings from a qualitative study this paper seeks to contribute new understandings about how practitioners’ narratives are shaped by discourses of poverty. Overall practitioners’ understandings of poverty reflected a moral discourse of deserving and undeserving poor. However, the complexity of interconnections between morality, gender and motherhood (and fatherhood) reveals how understandings were also broad, nuanced and at times contradictory. The study highlights the need for further research into how understandings of poverty are formed together with the need for new narratives of poverty.

儿童早期贫困的复杂叙事:他人、工作、福利和“曲线球”

早期从业者是英国政府解决儿童贫困问题政策的组成部分。本文借鉴一项定性研究的结果，试图对从业者的叙述是如何被贫困话语塑造的有新的理解。从业者对贫困的总体理解反映了一种应得和不配得的贫困的道德话语。然而，道德、性别和母亲（以及父亲身份）之间相互联系的复杂性揭示了理解是如何广泛、微妙且有时矛盾的。该研究强调，需要进一步研究如何形成对贫困的理解，同时需要对贫困进行新的叙述。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
