Examining the Consequences of Poor Neonatal Health on the Family

Dara Lee Luca and Purvi Sevak

Mathematica Policy Research Reports from Mathematica Policy Research

Abstract: Using data following newborns for 15 years, we find that poor neonatal health is associated with significant increases in child disability, child receipt of SSI and that mothers of these children reduce their labor supply, have higher rates of public benefit receipt and are less likely to live in married or cohabiting households.
