Abstract in brief

  • This study uses data on US children from low-income households to explore how experiencing food insecurity during early childhood affects their kindergarten skills, including reading, math, and social-emotional development.
  • The findings show that about 20% of children in this group live in food-insecure households, and those experiencing food insecurity tend to have poorer social-emotional skills in kindergarten; effects on cognitive skills like reading and math are less clear but show similar trends.
  • If these results are confirmed by further research, they could help shape policies aimed at reducing early skill disparities for around 15 million US children living in food-insecure households.]
