Outcomes for Children in the Free-Market Family System

This chapter considers how US free-market family policy drags children’s outcomes down in a number of different areas, including happiness, academic achievement, mental health, and economic mobility. That’s partly because few children in this system get what they need in their critical first years. And after that, in our profoundly unequal economy, almost all children must contend with the recognition that other families have far more access to material wealth and the opportunities it brings than their own. And as they mature, American youth face the stress of preparing themselves for adulthood in increasingly insecure and unequal economic circumstances. The result is that, no matter where they stand on the economic ladder, US children wind up doing considerably worse than past US children on an array of indicators, as well as far worse than children in countries with pro-family policy.
