Social transfers, changing family structure, and low income among children / by Garnett Picot and John Myles.CS11-0019/82E

Our aim in this paper is to resolve a paradox: since the 1970s, there has been a downward secular trend in the average real and relative earnings of young adults under the age of 35. Despite the fact that most young children live in households headed by adults under 35, there has been no corresponding secular rise in the incidence of low income among children. Rather child poverty has followed the usual fluctuations of the business cycle.--Abstract
