What is the reason for the US government to help children?

The reason of American government's child relief is low family income. Parents' educational level is not high and the employment situation is not optimistic. The number of single-parent families has increased. The influence of ethnic background. The number of immigrants has increased. According to relevant data, the reason of American government's child relief is that children have no independent financial resources ~ they live with their parents ~ all aspects of life are closely related to their families ~ the level of family income largely determines the quality of life of children. Financial constraints make poor families face multiple material difficulties such as food shortage and inability to pay rent. It is difficult for children from poor families to enjoy quality education, medical care and other services necessary for health. Parents' educational level is not high ~ The employment situation is not optimistic. Relevant surveys show that about 40% of children in families whose parents have not finished high school live below the poverty line, while about 3% of children in families whose parents have graduated from college live below the poverty line. The survey on parents' employment shows that ~ 56% of all poor children's families have only one parent working full-time all the year round ~ 25% of families have only one parent working part-time or full-time a year ~ 19% of families have no parents working. [5] The latest survey report released by the National Center for Poor Children (NCCP) in June, 2007 165438+ 10 shows that if parents have a low education level, even if they work full-time all the year round, it is difficult to help their children out of poverty.
