Family Complexity and Poverty

“Family Complexity and Poverty,” released in April 2013, was prepared by intern Rebekah Ludwig relying on the research of IRP affiliates and other researchers. Sources include especially “Family Structure, Childbearing, and Parental Employment: Implications for the Level and Trend in Poverty,” in IRP’s Focus newsletter 26(2); and the introduction to the edited volume entitled Social Class and Changing Families in an Unequal America, by Marcia Carlson and Paula England. Special thanks go to IRP affiliate Professor Marcia Carlson for her guidance in preparing this fact sheet.
