Does Inadequate Housing Perpetuate Childrens Poverty?
Draws on ethnographic research to examine the effect of unsuitable housing for the long-term capacity of children to break out of poverty. Presents case studies of three young children (4 to 9 years old) to clarify the connections between housing, parental behavior and the children’s sense of identity, trust, autonomy, competence and general development. Considers implications for policy and practice.
