Children who do not complete high school, for example, are more likely to become teenage parents, to be unemployed, and to be incarcerated, all
of which exact heavy social and economic costs.5 A growing body

neuroendocrine dysregulation that may alter
brain function and may contribute to the development
of chronic cardiovascular, immune, and psychiatric
disorders.6 The economic cost
of child poverty to society can be estimated by anticipating future lost productivity and increased social expenditure.
