| Abstract: | The paper identifies the long-term effects of material deprivation on family relationships among disadvantaged young people through a latent growth curve model. Data were gathered from the five waves of the Taiwan Database of Children and Youth in Poverty (TDCYP) and Taiwan Fund for Children and Families (TFCF), resulting in a sample size of 623 young people. From the first wave of the survey in 2009 to the fifth wave in 2017, material deprivation decreased over time and family relationships slightly improved over time. Material deprivation contributed to poor family relationships but decreased over time, reflecting the mitigating effect of support from non-profit organizations. Findings also indicated that family relationships improved as the participants got older. |
