Child poverty in the United States is a prevalent problem experienced by a large proportion of kids. Children are now the largest age group living below the poverty line, and around 1 in 5 children are affected by this issue. Child poverty is measured using absolute and relative methods. It is caused by many factors, including race, education, and family structure, but ultimately race correlates with these factors. There are multiple effects due to this. Effects on health and development cause lifelong problems and lower educational outcomes, and food insecurity can also be caused by child poverty. The United States government has put in place programs using tax credits and transfers. There are also community programs that have impacted specific communities that have high child poverty rat
