Article review: Early childhood financial disadvantage – teenagers with poorer health and academic outcomes
Abstract
Young children (aged 0-5 years) who are financially disadvantaged from birth (?) are characterised by poorer health and educational outcomes in adolescence. For the generation of young people born since the turn of the millennium, there is little data on how these adverse outcomes are related to the financial well-being of families.
