New Paper Published: Children in Vulnerable Families

A paper published by the Urban Institute
“An Overview of Selected Data on Children in Vulnerable Families”
The paper presents trends in the number of children in families facing problems such as domestic violence, substance abuse, depression, and childhood disabilities. These families are of particular importance to policymakers because of the risk to children’s safety and development, the challenges to parents’ ability to raise children amid these major stressors, and the potential need for a strong public role to meet children’s needs when parents cannot.
