Families in Poverty

Key Issues in Research

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

The articles in this special issue represent key themes in research on families in poverty. These themes include: There is substantial diversity across poor families, mother-child relationships are crucial to child and parent outcomes, father involvement in these families is often unreliable, social support is very important to these families, interventions targeted toward the poor must be very intensive to be effective, and social policy targeted toward these families is not always as helpful as had been planned.
