Race/ethnicity and nativity are the focus of three essays in this dissertation related to the poverty experience, program participation, and educational and health outcomes of children. The first essay looks for race/ethnic and nativity differences in the likelihood of entering poverty by age 17, of exiting poverty, and of reentering poverty. The likelihood of experiencing two or more consecutive months in poverty is high for all children. However, most children exit poverty within a matter of months, but they are also likely to return to poverty. Racial and nativity differences in the likelihood of ever experiencing poverty are pronounced. Those least likely to experience poverty are white children with native-born and foreign-born citizen parents, in addition to black children with foreign-born noncitizen parents. Hispanic children with foreign-born noncitizen parents, black children with native-born parents, and Hispanic children with native-born parents are the most likely to experience poverty.

520 $a Race/ethnicity and nativity are the focus of three essays in this dissertation related to the poverty experience, program participation, and educational and health outcomes of children. The first essay looks for race/ethnic and nativity differences in the likelihood of entering poverty by age 17, of exiting poverty, and of reentering poverty. The likelihood of experiencing two or more consecutive months in poverty is high for all children. However, most children exit poverty within a matter of months, but they are also likely to return to poverty. Racial and nativity differences in the likelihood of ever experiencing poverty are pronounced. Those least likely to experience poverty are white children with native-born and foreign-born citizen parents, in addition to black children with foreign-born noncitizen parents. Hispanic children with foreign-born noncitizen parents, black children with native-born parents, and Hispanic children with native-born parents are the most likely to experience poverty.
520 $a The second essay determines whether there are racial/ethnic and nativity differences in the likelihood that low-income children participate in TANF, SNAP, and Medicaid. Compared to low-income white children, low-income black and Hispanic children are generally more likely to participate in assistance programs; however, these effects are partially mediated by income-to-poverty ratio, parental characteristics, and household characteristics. Low-income children with foreign-born citizen and noncitizen parents are less likely to participate in TANF, SNAP, and Medicaid, and there is little evidence of mediation of these effects.
520 $a The third essay determines whether there are racial/ethnic and nativity differences in the educational and health outcomes of low-income children. Results suggest that racial and nativity differences are present, even among low-income children. Low-income black and Hispanic children generally fare worse than white children. However, white children are less likely than black, Asian, and Hispanic children to have positive attitudes towards school. In some cases, but certainly not all, these racial and nativity gaps are explained by poverty and program participation, parental characteristics, and household characteristics.
