项目摘要

This project will study the link between raising children and rising debt and examines the implications for growing economic inequalities. The U.S. Federal Reserve reports that total household debt in the U.S. has climbed to a staggering $12 trillion. Demographers document increasing expenditures for raising children over time. This project will determine the extent to which these two trends are related, and whether households take on debt to invest in their children. As such, this study will help us better understand the drivers of American household indebtedness as well as the rise in family income inequality and widening children's academic achievement gap. The findings of this project will inform policy proposals on funding of public education from preschool to high school, and the risks of widespread reliance on educational loans to facilitate social mobility of the new generations of Americans. The investigators will broadly disseminate results through presentations and publications in scholarly articles and a book, as well as general-interest essays and in communications aimed at policymakers. The project will also provide training and mentorship opportunities by involving female and underrepresented minority graduate and undergraduate students in the research process and publications. This will facilitate their success on the job market or for graduate school entry, promoting their participation in STEM.The specific research goals of this project are to determine the levels of overall debt, and, separately, levels of mortgage, educational and credit card debt, for families with children in the home, compared to families without children, and how such indebtedness has changed since the early 1990s. The project will also determine how debt and debt type differs by socio-economic status and race/ethnicity of families. Lastly, the project will investigate how families understand investment in children, including the legitimacy of taking on debt for the sake of raising kids. Quantitative data from the tri-annual Survey of Consumer Finances (1989 through 2013) and Panel Study of Income Dynamics (1997-2013) as well as 50 semi-structured interviews with households will be analyzed to answer these questions. The project will advance scholarship in economic sociology on the moral and emotional economy, using parenting as a new strategic research site. The findings will contribute to cultural sociology that treats meaning-making as central to theorizing about economic inequality. Analyzing the raising kids/rising debt nexus will question the common divide between private family concerns over children, on the one hand, and the functioning of financial markets, on the other hand. This study will expose how features of the new economy--stiff competition, economic insecurity, and paramount knowledge investment --infiltrate the intimate lives of families, all the while the resultant new economy of parenting, reliant on debt and financing to invest in children, upholds the contemporary financialization of the U.S. economy.
该项目将研究抚养子女与债务上升之间的联系,并考察其对日益严重的经济不平等的影响。美国联邦储备委员会报告称,美国家庭债务总额已攀升至惊人的12万亿美元。人口统计学家记录了随着时间的推移,抚养孩子的支出在增加。该项目将确定这两种趋势的关联程度,以及家庭是否会为子女投资而负债。因此,这项研究将帮助我们更好地理解美国家庭负债的驱动因素,以及家庭收入不平等的加剧和儿童学业成绩差距的扩大。该项目的研究结果将为从学前教育到高中的公共教育资金提供政策建议,以及广泛依赖教育贷款以促进新一代美国人的社会流动性的风险。研究人员将通过学术文章和一本书以及面向决策者的一般兴趣论文和通信中的演示和出版物广泛传播研究结果。该项目还将通过让女性和代表性不足的少数民族研究生和本科生参与研究过程和出版物,提供培训和指导机会。这将有助于他们在就业市场或研究生入学方面取得成功,促进他们参与STEM。该项目的具体研究目标是确定有孩子的家庭与没有孩子的家庭的总体债务水平,以及抵押贷款、教育和信用卡债务水平,以及自1990年代初以来这些债务的变化情况。该项目还将确定债务和债务类型如何因社会经济地位和家庭种族/族裔而异。最后,该项目将调查家庭如何理解对孩子的投资,包括为抚养孩子而负债的合法性。我们将分析三年期消费者财务调查(1989 -2013)和收入动态小组研究(1997-2013)的定量数据,以及50个家庭半结构化访谈,以回答这些问题。该项目将推动经济社会学关于道德和情感经济的学术研究,将育儿作为一个新的战略研究地点。这些发现将有助于文化社会学,将意义创造作为经济不平等理论化的核心。分析抚养孩子/不断增加的债务关系,将会质疑家庭对孩子的私人担忧与金融市场运作之间的普遍分歧。这项研究将揭示新经济的特征——激烈的竞争、经济上的不安全感和最重要的知识投资——如何渗透到家庭的亲密生活中,与此同时,由此产生的育儿新经济,依赖债务和融资投资于儿童,维护了当代美国经济的金融化。
