Mediating factors in child development outcomes : children in lone-parent families / by David P. Ross, Paul A. Roberts and Katherine Scott.MP32-28/98-8E

This paper asks: to what extent does vulnerability (higher, moderate or lower) among lone-parent children differ according to such important factors as family income, parental resources, community resources, and family characteristics. Three age-related indexes of development vulnerability based on a child's ranking on various outcome distributions are developed as our dependent variables for 2 to 3 year-olds, 4 to 5 year-olds, and 6 to 11 year-olds. The results of the analysis show that family income, parental resources, community resources and family characteristics contribute strongly to explaining variations in the vulnerability of lone-parent children.--Executive summary
