The income distribution and changes among Colombian children are analyzed using the probability density function and growth incidence curve. The paper utilizes the Foster–Greer–Thorbecke methodology to measure child poverty in Colombia, decomposes the contributions of different subgroups to child poverty and its changes, and conducts a growth-distribution decomposition of changes in child poverty. The study also employs income-source decomposition to examine the contributions of different income sources to child inequality and its changes. The results show that Colombian children experienced a decline in income, an increase in inequality, and higher levels of poverty during the COVID-19 pandemic. Children from households with higher dependency ratios and those living in rural areas were more likely to experience poverty. The main driver of increased poverty among Colombian children was decreased income, and there was a significant worsening of inequality for ultra-poor children. Labor income emerged as the primary source of inequality and its changes, whereas capital income and private transfers played a role in reducing poverty. However, public social benefits slightly increased inequality levels. Overall, the recession caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is antipoor but pro-ultra-poor. To address similar recessions in the future, the government should expand public transfer payments especially programs targeting children to reduce income inequality and alleviate poverty among children, and bolster the provision of public services essential for children’s development.</p>","PeriodicalId":47682,"journal":{"name":"Child Indicators Research","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139679298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The overarching objectives of this investigation are twofold: (1) to investigate the potential mediating role of perceived neighborhood quality in the link between community violence and children’s life satisfaction, and (2) to investigate the moderating role of collectivism in shaping the associations between community violence, perceived neighborhood quality, and life satisfaction. The sample encompasses 13,730 children (mean age = 9.95 years, 50.35% boys) hailing from 13 distinct countries, which is sourced from the third wave of the Children’s Worlds: International Survey of Children’s Well-Being (ISCWeB). Liner multilevel models reveal a significant indirect effect of community violence on children’s life satisfaction via perceived neighborhood quality. In addition, the effect of community violence on perceived neighbourhood quality is stronger for children who live in individualist culture, while the effect of perceived neighbourhood quality on life satisfaction is stronger for children who live in collectivist culture.

This distance creates conditions for the development of self-regulation and motivation for achievement. The article presents a study of the structure of subjective well-being (SWB) of senior schoolchildren. The study involved 3,282 students in grades 7–11 living in the Tyumen Region of the Russian Federation. The instrumentation used in the study was the author-developed questionnaire based on the questionnaire of The International Survey of Children’s Well-Being – Children's World. The authors suggest that the study of subjective well-being of high school students should more accurately and reliably measure children's desires and evaluations. In addition to the Family, School, Health, and Safety factors, the factor analysis allowed us to identify new factors – Agency and Romance which received high factor loadings. Dispersing the factors of SWB of high school students in the system of desired and real evaluations allowed us to identify internal contradictions. The research design offers the high school students to answer identical questions from two perspectives: how they evaluate the fact that a particular indicator is present in their lives (real level), and how important it is to them (desired level). In the system of evaluations of SWB by high school students, the desired level of factors appeared to be slightly higher than the real one. A two-stage cluster analysis in the space of selected factors made it possible to divide schoolchildren into 3 cluster groups: Romantics, Conformists, and Rebels. The study proves once again that there is no universal formula for well-being. Analysis of the weight coefficients of the desired and real level of SWB in all three groups demonstrated that those more satisfied and prosperous, in whom the structure of all SWB factors is harmoniously correlated are the Romantics, whereas the low level of SWB is noted in Rebels.</p>","PeriodicalId":47682,"journal":{"name":"Child Indicators Research","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139463743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There has been, however, a lack of population-level research during the pandemic focusing specifically on middle childhood (i.e., ages 10 – 13), a developmental period characterized by distinct biological, cognitive, social, and emotional changes. In addition, there is a lack of self-report data from this population, which impedes our understanding of their experiences and perspectives during this important developmental period. To address these gaps, the current study analyzed a population-level, self-report measure—the Middle Years Development Instrument (MDI)—administered to 4th and 7th graders in a primarily Hispanic Los Angeles County school district between May – June 2021. This research aimed to 1) describe students’ self-reported social and emotional well-being, connectedness to peers and to adults, school experiences, physical health, and use of after-school time; and 2) investigate students’ social and contextual assets, including adult and peer connectedness, school experiences, health habits, and after-school program participation. Logistic regression analyses controlling for demographic characteristics revealed that 7th graders had lower odds of well-being on four out of the five MDI Well-Being Index measures: Optimism, Happiness, Self Esteem, and General Health, as well as lower odds of three assets: Adult Relationships, After-School Activities, and School Experiences.

Additionally, the absence of internet access and reliable sources of information about coronavirus negatively affected children’s SWB.

Investigating the gender dimension of school non-attendance will enhance gender specific policies as the causes of school non-attendance are likely to vary between gender and across states or regions. To this end, this study conducts a spatial analysis to determine the geographical differences in OOSC, the hotspots of OOSC, and the underlying predictors using spatial statistical techniques. Contrary to the widely held opinion, findings indicate that more boys are out-of-school than girls. Across the country, the northern region accounts for a significant percentage of OOSC. The state-level analysis shows that Bauchi State is the hotspot for male school non-attendance while Sokoto, Kebbi, and Niger States are the hotspots for female school non-attendance. Evidence from the spatial analysis indicates that poverty is a significant predictor of OOSC majorly in the northwest and northeast regions of the country.
