Frequent Residential Mobility and Young Children's Well-being
February 21, 2012
In this study, Child Trends examined a fairly select group - children younger than six who have experienced five or more moves (who we term "frequent movers").
The symposium brings together scholars conducting innovative research on family instability and child outcomes from diverse disciplinary perspectives, including human development, education, psychology, and sociology. Each paper showcases different data to address how family instability (whether in terms of structure or processes) is related to children's well-being in multiple contexts, including disadvantaged and international populations.
