abstract: 'The advent of the Global Financial Crisis reminds us that modern
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
epidemiological research has consistently demonstrated links between the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
socio-economic circumstances of families and children''s health and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
development. Drawing on data from the Longitudinal Study of Australian
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Children, this article firstly examines the evidence for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
intergenerational transmission of socio-economic disadvantage from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
parents to young children. It then examines parents'' jobs as another
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
source of social inequality. Results confirm that children''s healthy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
development is affected by family income, by parents'' hours of work and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
by the quality of parents'' jobs. Job combinations that include long work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hours of mothers and fathers and poorer quality jobs are associated with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
elevated rates of parental mental health problems, less time spent in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
developmentally important activities with children, and socio-emotional
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
developmental difficulties for children. The evidence suggests that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
these effects are greater within low income families. These findings
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
highlight the need for social and economic policies to move beyond
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
simplistic notions of promoting parental workforce participation as a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
way of reducing the adverse effects of social disadvantage. A more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nuanced approach is required that considers the additional impacts of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the quality and characteristics of jobs, especially for the parents of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
young children.'
