Growing up in Rural vs. Urban Poverty: Contextual, Academic, and Cognitive Differences

Michele Tine

A chapter in Poverty, Inequality and Policy from IntechOpen

Abstract: This chapter aims synthesize current literature and research from a variety of fields to highlight what we know about the (1) contextual, (2) academic, and (3) cognitive differences between children growing up in urban versus rural poverty. The goal is to understand the unique needs of children growing up in urban and rural poverty to, in turn, place us in a better position to effectively remediate through targeted interventions and policy change.
