“…The latter finding is also consistent with the results from a previous study (Yan, 2005) We also found that there were strong associations between physiques and each socioeconomic factor such as family income, parental occupation and parental education. These findings were consistent with studies that children from high SES family have bigger physiques than those from low SES family (Morton, et al, 2002;McBride, 1990;Mahoney, Kaiser et al, 1999;McLoyd, 1998;Ma, Wu, Yang, 2010;NICHD Early Child Care Research Network, 1998;Ortega, Fang, Perez, et al, 2007;Parke, Coltrane, Duffy, Buriel, Dennis et al, 2004;Rona, Chinn, 1991;Solinger, 1999;Mohanty, Woolhandler, Himmelstein, Pati, Carrasquillo, Bor, 2005;Slesinger, Christenson, Cautley, 1986;Stamatakis, Wardle, Cole, 2010). Finally, by the ANCOVA in which both socioeconomic factors and groups were taken as independent variables and age was taken as a covariate, although strong associations between physiques and group were identified, there were hardly associations between socioeconomic factors and physiques.…”

“…Many studies showed that parental education has a profound influence on child's physical growth. (Parke, Coltrane, Duffy, Buriel, Dennis et al, 2004;Rona & Chinn, 1991;Solinger, 1999). Physiques of children whose parents have high-level education are bigger than those whose parents had low-level education (Mohanty, Woolhandler, Himmelstein, Pati, Carrasquillo, Bor, 2005;Slesinger, Christenson, Cautley, 1986;Stamatakis, Wardle, Cole, 2010;Chin J School Health, 2011).…”

Background: a few studies have been conducted which describe health status of Migrant Peasant Worker's children. However, there are no studies which compare physiques of MPW's children with those of rural children and urban children. Also, few studies have been done on physiques of MPW's children as it relates to socioeconomic factors in China. Methods: We examined across-sectional study of 2457 children from Shanghai and Wuhu city in 2011. First, we compared the differences of physiques among three groups by ANOVA. Second, ANCOVA were applied to analyze the associations between the physiques and socioeconomic factors by taking physiques as dependent variables. The independent variables included socioeconomic factors such as the parental occupation, the parental education and family monthly income. Third, ANCOVA were used to assess differences in physiques among the three groups by adjusting socioeconomic factors. Results: There were significant differences in all physical indexes, no matter they were boys and girls (P < .001). Children's physiques of MPW were smaller than those of children of Citizen in Shanghai City. Among all ages, regardless of gender, Children's physiques of MPW were bigger than those of children of rural resident. In both boys and girls all indexes displayed statistically significant associations with parental occupations (P < .001). There were strong associations between parental education and all physical indexes (P < .001). Family monthly income was found to be significantly associated with children's physiques (P < .001). In both boys and girls, there were strong associations between physique and group in all indexes (P < .001), but physiques hardly had any associations with socioeconomic factors. Conclusions: We find that physiques of MPW's children were smaller than those of children of citizen in Shanghai City, and physiques of MPW's children were bigger than those of children of rural resident. There are strong associations between physiques and socioeconomic factors.Keywords: Migrant Peasant Worker; Children; Physiques; Socioeconomic Factors; Group IntroductionWith the rapid urbanization in China, it was extremely obvious that there was shortage of labor in southeast coastal cities. Since the economic reform and Opening-Up Policy in China, the spare labor force was transferring from rural areas to cities, and the population of the labor has consistently increased. The term "Migrant Peasant Worker" (MPW), referred to those who migrate from rural areas to urban areas seeking employment opportunities. Most MPWs children accompanied their parents to the cities. At the end of 2009, the number of MPWs has reached over 145 millions (State Statistic Bureau, 2009). Moreover, the number of MPWs' children less than 14 years old was estimated at 15 millions, and about 380 thousand MPWs' children were in Shanghai City in (Xiong, 2010.Chinese government has classified every Chinese citizen as either "rural register" or "urban register" as a means of categorizing household registration.

“…Essa diferença foi mais acentuada na terceira avaliação, quando as crianças cujas famílias possuíam renda até R$100,00, bem abaixo do salário mínimo vigente na época, tiveram uma média do IDM/QI de 83,8; na faixa de renda de R$101,00 a R$310,00, a média eleva-se para 96,6 e na faixa mais alta, Esse resultado é compatível com diversos estudos sobre a relação entre desenvolvimento cognitivo e nível sócio econômico da família ou diferenças de experiências (Eickmann, Lira, & Lima, 2002;Spiess, Büchel & Wagner, 2003), embora essa relação seja mediada por vários fatores. Geralmente, condições de vida associadas à baixa renda, como ambiente pobre e desorganizado, background cultural minoritário, alto estresse dos pais, altas taxas de natalidade, residência em bairros com alta incidência de violência e criminalidade, refletem-se na quantidade e qualidade do envolvimento parental com as crianças e no tipo de experiên-cia proporcionada, afetando o conjunto ou aspectos particulares do desenvolvimento, muitas vezes em interações complexas com variáveis individuais e background étnico e cultural (Dearing, 2004;Parke et al, 2004;Yoshikawa, 1999).…”

ResumoEste estudo objetivou avaliar efeitos da experiência de creche no desenvolvimento cognitivo de crianças freqüentando creche, em comparação com crianças que permaneciam em casa, todas de um bairro pobre de Salvador e condições sócio econômicas eqüivalentes. Dois grupos de crianças (18 em creche e 19 em casa), juntamente com suas mães, participaram do estudo. As Escalas Bayley ou WPPSI-R (dependendo da idade da criança) foram aplicadas quatro vezes em 26 meses; subsidiariamente, as mães foram entrevistadas para fornecer uma avaliação do desempenho da criança a partir de seu ponto de vista. Os resultados mostraram que o desenvolvimento cognitivo foi afetado pela renda das famílias e, parcialmente, pela escolaridade materna. Freqüentar a creche não produziu resultados significativos em desempenho cognitivo, enquanto a avaliação materna indicou algumas diferenças entre os dois grupos na primeira avaliação, que desapareceram, na maior parte, na última. Os resultados são parcialmente compatíveis com a literatura, e suas implicações são discutidas. Palavras chave: Creche; efeito de creche; desenvolvimento cognitivo. AbstractThis study aimed to assess effects of the day care center experience on the cognitive development of pre-school children. Two groups of children, 18 from day care centers and 19 who were cared for at their homes were studied, including their mothers, took part in this study. Both groups had equivalent socioeconomic status and lived in a very poor neighborhood. Bayley Scales or WPPSI-R Scale (according to age) were used four times in a 26 month period; as an auxiliary research instrument, the mothers were interviewed for providing a child assessment from their own point of view. The results show that family income and, to some extent, the mother's school level affected cognitive development. Attendance to a day care center did not produce significant differences in cognitive development; maternal assessments suggested some differences between groups in the first evaluation, which disappeared, most of them, in the last one. These results are compatible partially with international literature and their implications are discussed. Keywords: Day care center; effect of day care center; cognitive development.Nos 50 anos que se seguiram à segunda guerra mundial, as transformações na estrutura da família foram dramáticas, em termos de padrões de natalidade, atribuição de papéis e tarefas, modos de cuidar das crianças e padrões de relacionamento social. A entrada maciça da mulher na força de trabalho e a falta de pessoas disponíveis para cuidar das crianças forçaram as sociedades a criar e manter instituições onde as crianças de zero a seis anos poderiam passar o dia.A psicologia do desenvolvimento, especialmente nos Estados Unidos, começou a avaliar os efeitos dessa experiên-cia no desenvolvimento da criança, em diversas esferas, como o apego mãe-criança, habilidades sociais e cognitivas e padrões de ajustamento à escola e à comunidade, entre outras. O ambiente de discussão dessas avaliações tem sido tu...

“…2 Food insecurity is a type of economic hardship, and the prevalence of food insecurity among households with children is influenced by the household structure and various demographic and disadvantaged socioeconomic factors. [2][3][4][5] Although research suggests that the family environment is negatively influenced in the presence of economic hardship, [6][7][8][9][10][11] few studies have taken an in-depth examination of the family environment by investigating how maternal health problems can influence the food security status of households with young children.…”

Background: Examination of maternal experiences of intimate partner violence (IPV) and depression as risk factors for food insecurity can provide a more nuanced understanding of the role that the family environment and women's health plays in the lives of families with young children that experience food insecurity. We investigated the longitudinal association between mothers' experiences of IPV and household food insecurity, and whether maternal depression mediated the relationship. Methods: IPV, depression, and food insecurity were assessed among 1,690 socioeconomically disadvantaged mothers of young children who participated in the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing study. Longitudinal multivariate logistic regression models were used to examine the association between IPV measured 3 years after the child's birth and increase in food insecurity from child's third to fifth birthday, as well as the mediating role of maternal depression, controlling for a number of maternal and household characteristics. Results: Mothers who reside in food insecure households and those who experience IPV share similar characteristics of socioeconomic disadvantage and a greater propensity for depression compared to their counterparts. Mothers' experiences of IPV predicted an increased risk of household food insecurity two years later, and the relationship was mediated by maternal depression. Conclusions: Food insecure mothers may benefit from widespread assistance. Targeting issues central to women's health must become a priority in combating food insecurity. Having IPV and mental health screenings coincide with food assistance applications may help identify women who would benefit from resources designed to increase physical safety, psychological well-being, and food security.
