Families Under Economic Pressure

Abstract: Within a context of increasing economic pressure in rural America, this study assesses family responses to this change and their consequences from the perspective of the household economy in middle-class families. It draws on the findings of largely separate fields of inquiry, including those on income level and loss, unemployment, and economic adjustments.

“…On the contrary, children may be affected more by shift work in low-income families due to the greater stress that these families experience from working non-day shifts (Costa, 1996;Heymann, 2000;Tepas & Price, 2001;Wedderburn, 2000). Indeed, the existing literature suggests that financial strain and hardship are negatively associated with parental psychological functioning, parenting behavior, and child well-being Elder et al, 1992;Jackson et al, 2000;McLoyd, 1990;McLoyd et al, 1994). It is also important to note that the context of shift work in two-parent families may be different from that in single-mother families.…”

“…Une première génération de travaux, majoritairement américains et canadiens, observe un effet négatif de la précarité (Burbach et al, 2004;Elder et al, 1992;McLoyd, 1990;Simons et al, 1990). McLoyd (1990) explique que la pression inhérente à une situation financière fragile peut influer négativement sur la qualité des interactions père-enfant par le biais des sentiments de stress qu'elle est susceptible d'engendrer.…”

“…Les pères auraient alors tendance à avoir une image négative de leurs enfants (Simons et al, 1990), qu'ils perçoivent comme moins obéissants et moins respectueux envers eux (Devault et Gratton, 2003). Leur autorité remise en cause, ils se sentent dévalorisés, sont moins patients et ressentent de la frustration (Elder et al, 1992;McLoyd, 1990). Nait alors un sentiment de dépossession de leur rôle de père qui peut générer en eux un sentiment d'incompétence les rendant plus à risque de se désengager (Allen et Dally, 2002, cité dans Devault et Gratton, 2003.…”

“…Algunos autores (Conger, Wallace, Sun, Simons, McLoyd, & Brody 2002;Elder & Caspi, 1988;Elder, Conger, Foster, & Ardelt, 1992;McLoyd, 1990;Mistry, Vanderwater, Huston, & McLoyd, 2002) han planteado que la pobreza tiene un efecto directo e indirecto sobre el desarrollo infantil. El primero se refiere al efecto producto de las interacciones directas del niño con las características sociales y materiales asociadas a la pobreza (BrooksGunn et al, 1993;Duncan & Brooks-Gunn, 2000;Garrett, Ng'andu & Ferron, 1994).…”
