Over 15 million children live in families subsisting below the federal poverty        level, and there are nearly 4 million more children living in poverty today than in        the turn of the 21st century. When compared to their more affluent counterparts,        children living in fragile circumstances-including homeless children, children in        foster care, and children living in families affected by chronic physical or mental        health problems-are more likely to have low academic achievement, to drop out of        school, and to have health and behavioral problems.The Oxford Handbook of Poverty        and Child Development provides a comprehensive analysis of the mechanisms through        which socioeconomic, cultural, familial, and community-level factors impact the        early and long-term cognitive, neurobiological, socio-emotional, and physical        development of children living in poverty. Leading contributors from various        disciplines review basic and applied multidisciplinary research and propose        questions and answers regarding the short and long-term impact of poverty, contexts        and policies on child developmental trajectories. In addition, the book features        analyses involving diverse children of all ages, particularly those from        understudied groups (e.g. Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, immigrants) and those        from understudied geographic areas (e.g., the rural U.S; international humanitarian        settings). Each of the 7 sections begins with an overview of basic biological and        behavioral research on child development and poverty, followed by applied analyses        of contemporary issues that are currently at the heart of public debates on child        health and well-being, and concluded with suggestions for policy reform.Through        collaborative, interdisciplinary research, this book identifies the most pressing        scientific issues involving poverty and child development, and offers new ideas and        research questions that could lead us to develop a new science of research that is        multidisciplinary, longitudinal, and that embraces an ecological approach to the        study of child development.
