Children’s Savings Accounts (CSAs) have been proposed as potential resources to build assets and help save for postsecondary education. While a large body of CSA research consists of testing relationships between program participation and well-being indicators, few endeavors have been dedicated to understanding CSA participants’ program experiences. This study analyzes in-depth interviews with parents of children enrolled in a statewide CSA program to gain an understanding of families’ experiences of saving for postsecondary education. Specifically, this study aims to understand the implementation of the program related to participant enrollment and the extent to which the program influenced participants and encouraged saving for postsecondary education, if at all. Findings on parents’ experiences enrolling in the Harold Alfond College Challenge (HACC), perceived influence of HACC participation, and experiences of saving for postsecondary education offer insights on the design and implementation of future CSA programs.","PeriodicalId":35244,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Poverty","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10796126.2020.1768656","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43195378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More specifically, the study focused on families of children slated to enter high-poverty schools at kindergarten entry or receiving Medicaid. The research employed Language Environment Analysis (LENA) digital language processors to record the vocalizations/verbalizations of 22 young children as well as those of the older children and adults who interacted with them. Three coaches were hired to work closely with participating families during a series of group sessions, model language promotion strategies, and review LENA reports with families. Analyses of 249 LENA recordings indicated increases in some measures of infants’ home language environments across the program period, particularly in Year One and for families whose initial LENA scores were low. However, there was great variability in the recordings data. The analysis of qualitative data sources, such as parent surveys and interviews with coaches, provided insights into the emotions elicited by LENA data, recording challenges, and additional supports that encouraged family progress.","PeriodicalId":35244,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Poverty","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10796126.2020.1764175","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44061099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper is the first to investigate how the child outcome penalties associated with social housing tenure have changed over time across UK cohorts. I compare the differences in the cognitive, mental health, and physical health outcomes of children in social housing with children in non-social housing and evaluate whether these tenure differences have changed between the 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS) and the 2000 Millennium Cohort Study (MCS). I find that in both cohorts, children in social housing exhibit worse outcomes across all three dimensions (cognitive, mental health, and physical health) than children in non-social housing. For cognitive and physical health outcomes, however, the tenure difference has narrowed between the two cohorts, while for mental health outcomes, the tenure difference has widened. These results suggest that children have experienced a relative worsening in their mental health outcomes across cohorts, but also a relative improvement in both their cognitive and physical health outcomes. The findings suggest that policies aimed at reducing tenure inequalities in child outcomes should focus on mental health development in the early years.","PeriodicalId":35244,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Poverty","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10796126.2020.1735626","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46078694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, some lawmakers fear that liberalizing these limits will encourage program dependence. The existent research suggests that asset limits do not affect state caseload size, but there is an insufficient understanding of whether these limits influence the rate at which participants move toward financial independence. The researchers compiled data from the Urban Institute's Welfare Rules Database and the Administration for Children and Families to examine the relationship between TANF asset limits and duration of program participation. Findings suggest that high or eliminated asset limits are not associated with long-term assistance. This work supports state and federal advocacy efforts to address the ways in which TANF asset limits restrict opportunities for asset development and long-term financial capability among low-income families.","PeriodicalId":35244,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Poverty","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10796126.2019.1638731","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49563102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
