Gennetian, a visiting associate professor at Duke University’s Sanford School of Public Policy and lead author of a study by the National Research Center on Hispanic Children and Families. “While these children tend to reside in households with high employment and stable incomes, which can be stabilizing and are positive inputs to their development, their parents may not have employment benefits or receive government benefits which affects the economic mobility of the family," she added.
