Using both quantitative and qualitative approaches, I examined how women raising young children in poverty construct their understandings of well-being in this study. 60 low-income women with young children involved in daycare completed quantitative measures. 17 women were purposefully selected to participate in qualitative interviews. Participants varied in terms of age, race, educational level, income, employment, marital status, and number of children.

Using both quantitative and qualitative approaches, I examined how women raising young children in poverty construct their understandings of well-being in this study. 60 low-income women with young children involved in daycare completed quantitative measures. 17 women were purposefully selected to participate in qualitative interviews. Participants varied in terms of age, race, educational level, income, employment, marital status, and number of children.

Findings suggest that well-being among low-income women is differentiated into two components: the capacity to provide for one's self and children, "making it," and "satisfaction," the extent to which one's current life measures up to individually and socially-constructed notions of success. Participant responses suggest these differentiated understandings of well-being may have cultural as well as individual antecedents.

Contrary to conventional wisdom and much social science research, one's debt-to-income ratio does not quantitatively predict well-being or satisfaction in this sample, suggesting that factors other than or in addition to economic interventions are necessary to foster the positive development and functioning of low-income mothers. Participants suggest that interventions aimed at improving their economic functioning often negatively impact their overall parenting efficacy, social functioning, and life satisfaction. Lower levels of life-satisfaction among more economically-stable participants in this study suggest a "middle class effect."

These findings suggest that the process of developing one's sense of well-being is an interpretive one, with one's expectations for her life being most central to how she assesses her overall functioning and satisfaction. Expectations are shaped by the social and relational contexts in which they develop. Race, class, gender, perceptions of one's community, childhood experiences, and close relationships contribute to both risk and resilience in these women's lives. Negotiating these various components of their social ecologies require women to develop discrete skills, knowledge, and understanding for each domain.

Participant responses suggest that feeling "satisfied" requires complex coordination and integration of various self, relational, and contextual understandings. However, the capacity to integrate these understandings is often at odds with the skills and self-understandings required for women living in poverty to "make it." Negotiating these divergent standards of well-being place women at risk of psychological and social strain.
