Child Poverty
Living in poverty has negative effects on children and adolescent well-being. Poverty is linked to substandard housing, homelessness, inadequate nutrition, lack of affordable/high quality child care and lack of access to health care. Children and adolescents experiencing poverty are at greater risk of negative outcomes, such as poor academic achievement, school dropout, abuse and neglect, behavioral and mental health problems, physical health problems and developmental delays.
