    Abstract

    My topic this afternoon is the link between family income and the well-being of children. While it is easy to document the better health and higher achievement of children who have grown up in richer as opposed to poorer families, it is much harder to isolate the causal impact of income itself. Children growing up in higher income families are advantaged in many other ways, including having parents who have completed more formal schooling and are embedded in higher-status social networks, and whose genetic endowments may provide cognitive and health-related advantages.
