Abstract

Economic hardships have far-reaching implications for families with children, impacting their well-being and development during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has led to household financial problems following job loss and reduced income. As parents or caregivers face financial difficulties, children may experience emotional distress through heightened anxiety and a sense of helplessness. This study examined the effects of household job insecurity and food insufficiency due to the pandemic's aftermath on the mental well-being of children in the United States.
