Immigrant children and their families issues for research and policy

By: Van Hook, Jennifer.
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookSubject(s): Gender | Youth | Immigration terms | Immigration In: The Future of Children : Summer/Fall 1995 : 72-89p.Summary: Discussions about immigration, focused on such policy issues as labor force participation and use of welfare programs, frequently fail to include considerations of children’s well-being. Even those debates which center on programs that benefit children—such as schools, public assistance, and social welfare programs—are often based on issues related to short-term costs and societal impacts, neglecting considerations of the well-being and future contributions of immigrant children.Hence, immigrant children have been rendered largely invisible in policy spheres. Yet first and second-generation immigrant children are the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. population under age 15.
