Being born into poverty pre-disposes children to physical and mental health problems throughout life, writes Katie Wyant-Stein, a developmental psychology Ph.D. student at the University of Utah.
Being born into poverty pre-disposes children to physical and mental health problems throughout life.Poverty’s negative impacts on development begin before a child is even born. Poverty can “get beneath the skin” of a child via experiencing high amounts of prenatal stress.
In the state of Utah, approximately 1 in 9 children are living in below the federal poverty line. Utah follows the federal standard for minimum wage of $7.25 per hour despite being the state with one of the highest increases of cost of living in the last few years. Increasing the state minimum wage will not be “throwing away money” in hopes of a miraculous solution to poverty. Increasing household income for those in poverty will positively impact child development outcomes. A recent study has shown that simply giving mothers in poverty more money per month is related to changes in the infant brain.
