Funded Activity Summary

The health implications of uncertain child support payments for children in low-income single parent families. The study will clarify the implications of child support policy by focussing on the economic, social and health impacts for low-income children. These findings will: provide single parents, schools and communities with insight into the process of promoting the social inclusion of low-income children; enable schools and social welfare agencies to design programs and services to meet the needs of low-income single parent families; provide data for continued child support policy review and development; and contribute to the evidence base for ongoing debates such as the effect of poverty on child social inclusion and how children experience social inclusion.
