Socioeconomic disparity in outcomes of school closure for low-income families
- Children from low-income families are more likely to be left alone, and will suffer from more behavioral and social problems.
- Studies show that declines in performance in education after summer break are greater for children from low-income and minority groups, and this will likely not be different for school closures due to a pandemic.
- It was found that 93% of 91 low-income households would have serious financial problems if they had to stay home during a 3-month school closure.
