Hispanic children and youth are the fastest, youngest growing population in the U.S. While many Latino children live in neighborhoods that do not have access to high-quality early education, Latino children, on average, are raised in a home environment that offers economic stability and security, the presence of two parents, high rates of parental employment, and socially supported family and community networks. Furthermore, though Hispanic children’s school achievement outcomes lag behind those of their peers, their socio-emotional developmental outcomes are on the same level or better. Latino child poverty is at rates two to three times higher than peers yet receipt of government income supports and related benefits is lower. In this session, we apply a strength-based framework and a review of policy design and implementation features to inform how to support social investments on Latino children and families.
