The Portland Observer
Poverty Stacks the Odds against Children
We all lose from the
harm this causes
m arian W right e delman
The Children’s Defense
Fund recently released our
latest report on Ending Child
Poverty Now once again
showing just how much pov-
erty is hurting our children and na-
tion and sullying our pretensions
to be an equal opportunity society.
We all lose in a nation that al-
lows millions of children to face
the minute by minute, hour by
hour, day by day harms of poverty.
In 2017 over 12.8 million of
our children lived below the of-
ficial poverty line—$25,094 for
a family of four—based only on
cash income. Nearly half lived in
extreme poverty below half the
poverty line. More than two-thirds
of poor children in related families
live with an adult who works and
more than a third live with an adult
who works full-time year round.
Poverty stacks the odds against
children and stalks them down ev-
ery avenue of their lives. As our
by
latest national plea to end child
poverty now carefully documents,
poverty
places
children at risk
of hunger, home-
lessness, sickness,
violence, educa-
tional failure and
family stress and
too often deprives
them of positive early childhood
experiences and opportunities that
prepare more affluent children for
school, college and work.
Poverty wears down children’s
emotional reserves, saps their
spirits and confidence and threat-
ens their potential and aspirations.
From infancy through adulthood
poverty gnaws away at child re-
siliency and hope and harms them
for life.
Beyond its individual human
costs, child poverty has huge
economic costs for all of us. One
study shows the lost productivity
and extra health and crime costs
stemming from child poverty add
up to about $700 billion a year, or
3.5 percent of GDP.
Another study found elimi-
Good day African American
business owners, skilled people, church organizations,
etc. If you seriously believe that we should help support
our own and encourage others to do the same, then we’re
inviting you to come and get registered to participate in the
upcoming “20/20” Regional African American Business
directory, featuring what black people are doing in Seattle,
Tacoma, Olympia, Vancouver WA, PTLD, Salem etc.
Registration is taking place now at 2205 N. Lombard,
room 103, PTLD, Oregon. After they are paid for, there
will be thousands of directories produced and distributed.
Basic business directory listing is less than $40 a year,
less than $15 for skilled people listings.
For appointment hours phone Gloria at 360-952-1432,
Ruth at 360-723-8497, John (503) 358-9655 or Lottie
(directory organizer) at 206-271-0311.
nating child poverty between the
prenatal and age 5 years would
increase lifetime earnings be-
tween $53,000 and $100,000 a
child—a total lifetime benefit of
$20 to $36 billion for all babies
born in a given year. And we can-
not measure the countless inno-
vations and discoveries that never
occur because so much child po-
tential is lost.
Child poverty also fuels a de-
structive intergenerational cycle
of poverty with compounding ef-
fects that can have lasting conse-
quences into adulthood. Children
who grow up poor have a harder
time escaping poverty as adults.
Research shows people who
experienced poverty at any point
during childhood are more than
three times as likely to be poor
at age 30 as those who were nev-
er poor as children. The longer a
child is poor, the greater her risk
of becoming a poor adult. A 2017
Urban Institute report found only
20 percent of children who spent
half their childhoods in poverty
were consistently working or in
school during their twenties.
No families should have to fight
so desperately to beat the odds in
this battle that is so hard to win in
a nation with the largest economy
in the world. We must act now to
save our children’s lives and our
nation’s soul. Inaction is not an
option; poverty is far too costly
for our children and nation to con-
tinue.
Ending Child Poverty Now
shows we already have the solu-
tions and that by investing just a
small percentage of our federal
budget into existing programs and
policies, we can make significant
progress and rescue many child
lives from stunted futures. We just
need the moral decency, political
will and economic common sense
to do it.
