To alleviate economic hardship, the U.S. government provides a patchwork of income support policies. This paper examines two of the largest programs, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), which low-income working families often receive simultaneously. This paper is the first to explore whether these benefits interact to influence children's early cognitive development in families receiving both programs. To address endogeneity of program benefits, I use a two-way (child and year) fixed effects model to leverage the variation in the maximum federal and state EITC benefits stemming from changes in the number of children and state EITC policies, as well as the variation in SNAP purchasing power driven by local food prices over time within each child, rather than actual benefit amounts. Using data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort (which tracks a nationally representative 2001 birth cohort through the kindergarten-entry period), I find new population-level evidence that EITC benefits are effective at improving early math and reading skills when coupled with greater SNAP purchasing power, and vice versa (sample size = 1300). Suggestive evidence is provided on the mechanisms underlying such complementary effects on early cognitive outcomes. The findings highlight the importance of enhancing the reach and generosity of both programs.Supplementary information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11113-025-09985-9.","PeriodicalId":47633,"journal":{"name":"Population Research and Policy Review","volume":"45 1","pages":"5"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12827319/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146054571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Is it income alone that explains differences in the likelihood of hardship, or do other characteristics-such as wealth and education-play important roles? Using 2021 data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation, we examined the prevalence of four types of hardship (bill paying, food, housing, and neighborhood) among poor and affluent households, with affluence defined as household income at least five times the poverty line. The predictors of hardship generally did not significantly differ across poor and affluent households. Wealth and the presence of a disabled household member were consistently linked with hardship among both. Decomposition analyses indicated that the difference in income alone was the most important reason why poor households are more likely to experience bill-paying and food hardships than affluent households, but wealth played the largest role in explaining differences in housing and neighborhood hardships. In decomposition analyses without income and wealth-two proximate determinants of hardship-household type (e.g., presence of a married couple), education, employment status, and race helped explain differences in hardship prevalence across poor and affluent households. Overall, our findings suggest that a variety of characteristics-the most important being income and wealth, depending on the hardship-help explain differences in the prevalence of hardship between poor and affluent households.Supplementary information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11113-026-10019-1.","PeriodicalId":47633,"journal":{"name":"Population Research and Policy Review","volume":"45 4","pages":"35"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13263291/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148253885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Much of this work uses retrospectively reported survey data on birth contexts, particularly for birth intendedness and relationship status at birth, but rarely has research considered whether or how people might report birth contexts differently over time. In this paper, we used Waves III, IV, and V of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health), the only nationally representative longitudinal dataset with repeated measures of pregnancy/birth contexts for the same live birth. Focusing on first births, we (a) examined if, and to what extent, individuals changed their retrospective reports of pregnancy wantedness and relationship status at birth, (b) identified if there are sociodemographic correlates of inconsistent reports, and (c) explored whether inconsistent reports are associated with parental experiences. Results showed that consistency ranges from 49 to 65% when comparing first birth wantedness and relationship status reports across all three waves among births first reported in Wave III ([Formula: see text] = 1083) and rises to 73-80% across the latter two waves when comparing births first reported in Wave IV ([Formula: see text] = 3766). We found weak evidence of social patterning of inconsistency, with only age emerging as a predictor for both indicators across the analytical samples, and we did not find evidence that inconsistency biased the association between birth context and parental experiences.Supplementary information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11113-026-10005-7.","PeriodicalId":47633,"journal":{"name":"Population Research and Policy Review","volume":"45 2","pages":"22"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13038467/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147610466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both men's and women's childbearing goals shape fertility behavior. However, most research on fertility goals focuses on women, and little is known about how men's fertility goals may have changed over time or vary by age and parity. In this paper, we draw from the U.S. National Survey of Family Growth 2011-2019 to estimate trends in age- and parity-specific indicators for both men and women of (i) the proportion of positive prospective fertility intentions, (ii) the timing of prospective fertility intentions, and (iii) the retrospective reporting of fertility desires. Results show important differences and similarities in men's and women's fertility goals, as well as a mixed picture regarding gender convergence or divergence in fertility goals, depending on the exact outcome analyzed. Men are more likely to intend a(nother) child and have greater intentions to delay childbearing, both at the aggregate and across age and parity. Prospective intentions declined for both men and women, but at a higher rate for women, and the declines were proportionally larger early in the life course. For both men and women, we find increases in intended childlessness and intentions to delay childbearing. These two processes together point to potential future declines in cohort fertility, both through unrealized fertility and voluntary childlessness. We conclude by discussing the benefits and challenges of including men in fertility research.Supplementary information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11113-025-09989-5.","PeriodicalId":47633,"journal":{"name":"Population Research and Policy Review","volume":"45 1","pages":"6"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12827432/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146054590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study builds on recent work showing that the strength of the gradient differs across U.S. states. We asked, how and why has the gradient changed over time in each U.S. state? Using 27 years of cross-sectional data from the 1993-2019 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System on adults ages 30-64 years, we estimated how the association between educational attainment and self-rated health changed over time in each state. We also assessed the contribution of six individual-level factors, such as adults' income, and three state-level contextual factors, such educational composition and policy context, to changes in the association in each state. The gradient increased significantly in 49 of the 50 states during the period, but the magnitude of the increase differed notably by state. In most states, the largest single contributor to the increasing gradient was household income. Adults' employment and obesity also contributed to the increasing gradient to varying degrees in many states, while smoking suppressed the increase in the gradient in over half of states. The state-level contextual factors contributed little to the increasing gradient. The findings underscore the value of a subnational focus for explaining and potentially reversing the growth in the education-health gradient.Supplementary information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11113-026-10020-8.","PeriodicalId":47633,"journal":{"name":"Population Research and Policy Review","volume":"45 4","pages":"37"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13287250/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148319919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As COVID-19 emerged, the political right dismissed the threat of the virus, while the political left emphasized it as a major crisis. These contrasting views may have led to diverging fertility responses between those living in Democratic- and Republican-leaning areas. Using county-level data from Florida, difference-in-difference models predicted quarterly change in fertility rates between 2018 and 2022. Models estimated the partisan fertility gap (e.g., Republican-Democratic difference in fertility rate changes relative to before the pandemic) as a function of 2020 Trump vote share. The partisan fertility gap widened during the pandemic's early months, as fertility in Republican-leaning counties declined less than in Democratic-leaning counties. This gap was only observed for White women and was robust to controlling on time-varying potential confounders (unemployment rate and racial composition changes). The partisan gap was short-lived, however. Results suggest that politically-charged contexts where would-be-parents lived may have affected pandemic-induced fertility shocks and demonstrates the need to understand fertility changes in the context of the broader political environment-a vital endeavor given record-low fertility and unprecedented political polarization in the United States.","PeriodicalId":47633,"journal":{"name":"Population Research and Policy Review","volume":"44 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13105308/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147785444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although past demographic research has focused largely on population-level mortality rates, individual-level mortality experiences can also shape fertility. The timing of mortality exposure over the life course might distinctly shape individual-level fertility behavior, with some time periods being more sensitive than others. Using detailed data from a sample of reproductive-aged women in Matlab, Bangladesh, this study investigates how mortality exposure, specifically to family bereavements, across three time periods (the focal woman's childhood, adolescence, and post-marriage adulthood) is linked to fertility quantum and tempo. Results suggest exposure to kin mortality is associated with an increased fertility quantum despite delaying fertility tempo. We also find that mortality exposure post marriage (rather than in a woman's childhood or adolescence) is the most crucial life course period in terms of the relationship between mortality exposure and fertility behavior. These findings distinctively underscore the need to account for mortality exposure in our understanding of individual-level fertility behavior, and also the importance of specific environmental components, such as the life course timing of mortality exposure, to better understand this relationship. These findings are consistent with previous literature on the association of mortality exposure with fertility, but our novel life course analyses contradict expectations that early life mortality exposure will be especially influential on later fertility.","PeriodicalId":47633,"journal":{"name":"Population Research and Policy Review","volume":"44 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13233033/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148165143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using data from 1252 women residing in a Health and Demographic Surveillance Site in Maharashtra, India we explore timing, duration and associated socio-economic factors with Temporary Childbirth Migration (TCM). Our overall goal is to develop a definition of temporary childbirth migration and situate it within demographic migration theory. Most (80%) of women migrated for over 1 month in the last trimester of pregnancy, with a sizeable proportion (22%) departing immediately after delivery. Socio-demographic factors were not associated with migrating during pregnancy; migrating postpartum was associated with younger age and higher education. Based on these findings, we propose a definition of Temporary childbirth Migration as a form of migration from husbands to natal homes and back, for at least one month duration, with departure and return at any time in the perinatal period. Given the potentially large number of women moving location for an extended duration in every pregnancy (in a country of over 1.4 billion), programs providing services to pregnant women and newborns should take this phenomenon into consideration. Additionally, data collection efforts at the clinical and household level should understand that women's place of delivery or receipt of prenatal or postnatal services may differ from her normal place of residence.","PeriodicalId":47633,"journal":{"name":"Population Research and Policy Review","volume":"44 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12173446/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144318382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Direct questions in population representative surveys yield downwardly biased estimates of abortion and likely differential underreporting of abortion by socio-demographic characteristics. In the present study, we evaluate the effectiveness of an indirect survey method, the list experiment, for improving estimates of abortion risk and differentials in population-representative surveys. We estimate cumulative-lifetime abortion incidence in 2017 and five-year incidence in 2021 using two cross-sectional surveys administered in Delaware and Maryland and evaluate the five-year estimates against external benchmarks from administrative data. We use multivariate regression with the list-experiment data to examine abortion incidence by socio-demographic predictors. We find that list-experiment estimates of five-year abortion incidence are similar to estimates calculated from external data: that cumulative lifetime abortion incidence increases monotonically with age, and that five-year incidence is inverse U-shaped. Black adults are found to be much more likely to have had an abortion both in the past five-years and over the reproductive lifetime, before and after controlling for age, parity, relationship status, education, and household income.

Drawing on human capital and social learning theories, and Demographic Health Survey data from Uganda, we examine the independent and interactive associations between individual and community education and two outcomes-HIV prevention knowledge and knowledge of different contraceptive methods-including differences by gender. Consistent with human capital and social learning theories, results from multilevel regression models show that both individual education and community education levels are independently and positively associated with more accurate sexual and reproductive health knowledge. Further, in support of the idea that human capital and social learning theories work in tandem, we find that the association between individual education and HIV knowledge is stronger in less educated communities, and grows weaker as community education increases, for both men and women. Similarly, for men, but not women, the association between individual education and contraceptive knowledge is stronger in less educated communities and weaker as community education increases. Among women, individual education was strongly and positively associated with contraceptive knowledge, an association that varied little across more or less educated communities.
