- Abstract:
- The magnitude of COVID-19's impact is like nothing we've seen before and represents an unprecedented threat to children. A new analysis of the pandemic's effect on households with children under age 18 in New York State has found severe, long-lasting, and racially disparate repercussions on children who lost a parent or guardian or who entered poverty or are near poverty as a result of the pandemic. The analysis, conducted by United Hospital Fund and Boston Consulting Group, estimates that between March and July 2020, 4,200 children experienced a parental death; and 325,000 children have been pushed into or near poverty as a result of the pandemic's economic downturn. This analysis is broken out in two parts. Part 1 estimates the number of NY children who have had a parent or caregiver die due to COVID-19, and the racial/ethnic and geographic disparities in these losses. This report contains the findings from Part 2, which looks at the broader toll on children. It estimates the number of New York children who have experienced parental job loss or teen unemployment due to the pandemic; the number of children newly expected to live in or near poverty as a result and the resources needed to support these families; and the long-term costs associated with a variety of pandemic-related disruptions to child development..
