Abstract

This paper extends previous measurements of the children’s income-health gradient through 2015. We first replicate findings about the steepness of the gradient from 1986 to 2005. We then find that since 2005, the health gradient between children in low-income families and high-income families has flattened, but it still steepens with age. We also show that overall children’s health has improved since 2005.
