本文利用全国青少年纵向调查的数据，探讨了收入、家庭结构和公共政策对虐待儿童的几个指标的影响。结果表明，收入和家庭结构影响家庭虐待儿童的总体风险，并且这些因素不同地影响各种结果衡量标准。特别是，收入影响常规医疗和牙科护理、照料环境的质量，并在较小程度上影响打屁股的行为。单亲家庭和有亲生母亲和非亲生父亲的家庭往往比母亲-父亲家庭的照顾环境质量更低，母亲有工作的单亲家庭更有可能出现照顾不善的情况。最后，这一分析提供了一些初步证据，表明较高的福利和较低的失业率可能是儿童的保护因素。(C)2004爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
This paper uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to explore the effects of income, family structure, and public policies on several indicators of child maltreatment. Results suggest that income and family structure affect a family's overall risk of child maltreatment, and that these factors differentially affect various outcome measures. In particular, income impacts routine medical and dental care, the quality of the caregiving environment, and to a lesser extent, spanking behaviors. Single-parent families and families with a biological mother and non-biological father figure tend to have lower quality caregiving environments than mother-father families, and single-mother families with working mothers are at even greater risk of poor caregiving. Finally, this analysis provides some tentative evidence that higher welfare benefits and lower unemployment rates may serve as protective factors for children. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
