abstract: 'Children in low socioeconomic status (SES) families are five times more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
likely to experience child maltreatment relative to children in high SES
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
families. To determine whether increasing the wages of working poor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
families can prevent maltreatment, we examine whether changes in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
local minimum wage (MW) affect child well-being and parenting behaviors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using data from a representative, longitudinal survey, we use a lagged
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dependent variable model to compare parenting behaviors in localities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
where the MW changed to localities where the MW did not change relative
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to before the MW change took place. We also explore heterogeneity by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
child''s age and a variety of potential mechanisms. We find that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increasing the minimum wage reduces spanking by both mothers and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fathers, as well as physical and psychological aggression by mothers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These results appear to be driven by changes in maternal employment;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
whereby mothers reduce their employment and change their weekend shifts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We find no significant effects for positive parenting behaviors,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
household income, or maternal mental health. Finally, older children
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
exhibit fewer externalizing behaviors as a result of increases in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
minimum wage. The results of this study help inform the conversation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
about income supports and employment policies with regard to their
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
effects and pathways to child well-being.'
