This is a particularly refreshing approach to examining the workings of child and youth governance from the ground up; it takes into account clients’ contextual and structural environments, together with their assumed ability to assess how policy relates to their lives. I appreciated Brown’s thoughtful insights into the ways in which gender serves as a structuring logic for determining markers of vulnerability. This line of inquiry alerts us to how gendered accountings of vulnerability serve to restrict or expand the types of regulatory/caring responses depending on both the gender of clients, and whether clients conform to codes of proper gendered behavior. I would contend, however, that the scope of analysis needs to be broadened to include class and gender’s relation to other factors shaping experiences of marginalization and social exclusion. Specifically, I would have liked to see attention paid to how discourses of vulnerability figure in determining the livability of youth and children’s lives marked differently by the rationalities and experiences of race, racism, and citizenship status. This critique notwithstanding, this is an important book for readers of the Journal of Children and Poverty. Brown concludes her text by offering the following challenge articulated by one youth participant in her study: as policy-makers, policy scholars, and practitioners, it is imperative that we ‘“figure it [our concept(s)] out first”’ before deploying it.","PeriodicalId":35244,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Poverty","volume":"22 1","pages":"72 - 73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10796126.2015.1134453","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60267559","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}

We investigate parental spending on child care and on goods in the home that may provide enrichment for young children. We find little evidence that households make spending trade-offs for either type of good. Instead, our results suggest that low-income households that can afford child care may be poor only temporarily and that they spend primarily when they are unable to avoid doing so because of family work patterns. For enrichment goods, parental education is a stronger predictor of spending.","PeriodicalId":35244,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Poverty","volume":"22 1","pages":"21 - 40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10796126.2015.1119104","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60267491","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}

With regard to such families, three additional components are considered: increased out-of-pocket expenditures, lost wages for caregiving, and cost of advocacy. Like the Self-Sufficiency Standard itself, this adaptation does not propose an extravagant or even comfortable lifestyle. Instead, this model extends Brooks and Pearce's advocacy agenda by estimating the relative costs of obtaining basic necessities and supports for families raising children with disabilities and by providing clear direction for community engagement in family economic policy.","PeriodicalId":35244,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Poverty","volume":"22 1","pages":"1 - 20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10796126.2015.1109500","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60267351","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 employs multivariate statistical analysis using American Community Survey data to demonstrate the relative risk ratio of low-income renter-occupied households with children experiencing \"rent burden,\" \"energy insecurity,\" or a \"double burden\" as opposed to no burden. Findings suggest that low-income households are more likely to experience these economic hardships in general but that specific groups are disproportionately burdened in different ways. For instance, whereas immigrants are more likely to experience rental burden, they are less likely to experience energy insecurity and are also spared from the double burden. In contrast, native-born African Americans are more likely than all other groups to experience the double burden. These results may be driven by the housing stock available to certain groups due to racial residential segregation, decisions regarding the quality of housing low-income householders are able to afford, as well as home-country values, such as modest living and energy conservation practices, among immigrant families. This paper also points to important policy gaps in safety net benefits related to housing and energy targeting low-income households.</p>","PeriodicalId":35244,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Poverty","volume":"22 1","pages":"77-92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10796126.2016.1148672","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60267741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
