"The objective of this paper is to evaluate the extent to which racial variation in children's economic well-being resides in divergent parental work patterns and/or family living arrangements. This is accomplished using recently-released data from the 1 percent sample of the Public Use Microdata Sample of the 1990 [U.S.] decennial census. The results indicate that racial differences in family structure undermine efforts to eliminate racial inequality among American children. Among blacks, for example, the high proportions of children living in female-headed families account for 60 percent of the difference from white children in poverty rates. Similarly, racial differences in parental work patterns contribute to (but cannot explain completely) racial variation in child poverty. Among black children in married-couple families, poverty rates are roughly twice those of their white counterparts, even though black children are more likely to have both parents working."

本文的目的是评估儿童经济福祉方面的种族差异在多大程度上源于不同的父母工作模式和/或家庭生活安排。这是通过使用最近公布的1990年[美国]十年一次人口普查公共使用微数据样本1%样本的数据来实现的。结果表明，家庭结构中的种族差异破坏了消除美国儿童种族不平等的努力。例如，在黑人中，生活在女户主家庭中的儿童比例较高，这占了与白人儿童贫困率差异的60%。同样，父母工作模式的种族差异导致（但不能完全解释）儿童贫困方面的种族差异。在已婚夫妇家庭中的黑人儿童中，贫困率大约是白人儿童的两倍，尽管黑人儿童的父母双方更有可能都有工作。 （英文和西班牙文摘要）
