与来自富裕家庭的儿童相比，贫困儿童面临更高的发育迟缓风险，在各种发展成果指标上表现更差。本文探讨了贫困和儿童的成果之间的关系，在牙买加的背景下。具体而言，该文件侧重于对牙买加贫困儿童的有害后果。本文回顾了经济劣势对儿童的影响，并讨论了对个人和社会的短期和长期影响。此外，利用一个理论模型，假设经济剥夺和儿童福祉的各个方面之间的关联的运作方式和人类发展的影响进行了研究。为决策者解决与经济贫困家庭和儿童有关的问题提出了建议。
Compared with children from more affluent families, poor children face a higher risk of developmental delays and fare worse on various measures of developmental outcomes. This paper examines the relationship between poverty and child outcomes in the Jamaican context. Specifically, the paper focuses on the detrimental consequences for poor Jamaican children. The literature is reviewed on the effects of economic disadvantage on children and the short- and long-term implications for individuals and society is discussed. In addition, the modus operandi and implications for human development utilizing a theoretical model that hypothesizes the associations among economic deprivation and various aspects of child well-being is examined. Suggestions to policy makers for addressing the issues related to economically deprived families and children are offered.
