| Abstract: | This study explores how living conditions during childhood and adolescence tructure socio-economic circumstances in midlife. Based on data from a new longitudinal Swedish data set, the Stockholm Birth Cohort Study, following more than 14,000 individuals from birth (1953) to the age of 48 (2001), a 3-step analysis is used: 1. establishing the link btw. precarious living conditions in childhood and midlife social exclusion, 2. using structural equation modelling to describe the ways by which this association is mediated. There is tentative evidence that the long-term effect of financial poverty primarily runs through educational failure, while the effect of other social problems in the family of origin runs via deviant behaviour. In the 3rd step, it is analysed whether children raised in families with poverty or having other social problems are more sensitive to new risk exposures as adults. This is tested by exploring the long-term unemployment effect during the economic crisis of the 1990s on social exclusion risks after 7-9 years. |
