abstract: 'Financial capability is generally conceptualized as the ability and the
opportunity to save, borrow, and invest money in the mainstream economy.
But, many families struggle with finding work, saving money, and
accessing credit. Thus, it is important to build families'' financial
capability to enhance their well-being in an economy in which low
incomes and unstable employment are becoming commonplace and families
are having to make do with less. In order to better understand how to
support families'' financial capability, this study elicited perspectives
on barriers to and enhancers of financial capability through an online
survey and in-depth interview with 32 parents of kindergarten children
from a mid-sized, Midwestern city. Some parents identified raising young
children as a barrier to aspects of their financial capability, and to
care for their children many parents were making tradeoffs between
working, paying for childcare, and related money management matters.
Parents'' also reported barriers to finding paid work, earning adequate
and stable income, and saving money. In addition to children
transitioning to adulthood, some parents believed that having better
employment opportunities, earning more income, better money management
strategies, lower health insurance premiums, and completing higher
education might enhance their financial capability. Theory, and policy
considerations are discussed, and emphasize incorporating
income-generating work in conceptualizing financial capability, and
opportunities to support families with young children by creating steady
well-paying secure jobs, providing universal low- or no cost childcare,
and shoring up safety net programs.'
