Ecological Predictors of Perceiving Scarcity in Childhood

Evidence from multiple disciplines suggests there is a strong association between poverty and child development, mediated by worry and stress. Nevertheless, it is yet unclear why some children worry more about their family economic situation while others do not. In this paper, we analyze ecological...

In this paper, we analyze ecological predictors of worrying for family money in childhood. For this purpose, we use the second wave of the International Survey of Children's Well-being (ISCWeB), in which children from 16 developed and developing countries stated whether they worry about their family money. The dataset also contains rich information about individual characteristics, such as age and gender, and contextual factors, such as home and family life, neighborhood quality, school life, and peers relationship.

No obstante, aún no es claro por qué unos niños se preocupan más por los recursos de sus familias mientras otros no. En este artículo, analizamos predictores ecológicos de preocuparse por los recursos económicos de la familia en la niñez. Para esto, utilizamos la segunda fase de la International Survey of Children's Well-being (ISCWeB), en la cual niños de 16 países desarrollados y en desarrollo reportan si se preocupan por los recursos económicos de sus familias. La base de datos también cuenta con extensa información sobre características individuales, como edad y sexo, y factores contextuales, como la vida familiar y en el hogar de los niños, la calidad del barrio donde viven, su vida en el colegio y su relación con pares 2018-09-27T16:57:18Z 2018-09-27T16:57:18Z 2017 document publishedVersion 2215-7816 (electrónico) http://hdl.handle.net/1992/8794 eng Documentos de Trabajo EGOB número 44/Abril 2017 Al consultar y hacer uso de este recurso, está aceptando las condiciones de uso establecidas por los autores. openAccess Bogotá - Universidad de los Andes, Escuela de Gobierno Alberto Lleras Camargo instname:Universidad de los Andes reponame:Séneca
