18 The Recession and Food Security November, 2010 The Effect of the Recession on Child Well-Being in child poverty rates are, for the most part, the states in which SNAP enrollment has increased the most. 79 In 19 states, 25 percent or more of all children were enrolled in SNAP at some point during 2009. This paper synthesizes evidence of the effects of recession on child well-being. It examines four domains â health, food security, housing stability, and maltreatment â and reviews the relationship of each to the well-being of children during recessions.
Infants and toddlers only account for 25 percent of the population, yet have the highest poverty rates of any age group in the United States. The familyâs economic condition during early childhood may be far more important in shaping childrenâs ability, behavior, and achievement than conditions later in childhood. Poverty can hinder childrenâs ability to learn and be healthy and affects their social, emotional, and behavioral development.
