在贫困中长大的儿童健康状况不佳的风险更高。研究人员已经确定了一些负责这种关联的机制，但我们对儿童在收入不平等程度不同的社区，学校和国家中成长的影响知之甚少。在这篇文章中，我们总结了什么是已知的儿童的福祉和收入不平等之间的关联，并概述了三个挑战，收入不平等水平的提高可能会对低收入家庭的孩子。我们还讨论了研究和政策的影响。
Children growing up in poverty are at heightened risk for poor health. Researchers have identified some mechanisms responsible for this association but we know less about how children are affected by growing up in communities, schools, and countries with varying levels of income inequality. In this article, we summarize what is known about the association between children's well-being and income inequality, and outline three challenges that increasing levels of income inequality may pose to children from low-income families. We also discuss implications for research and policy.
