Association of early-life exposure to income inequality with bullying in adolescence in 40 countries
JAMA May 20, 2019
Elgar FJ, et al. - In this study of 425,938 male students and 448,265 female students, researchers analyzed the connection between income inequality during infancy and early childhood and adolescents’ involvement in bullying others, experiences of being bullied, or both. This investigation was carried out in 40 countries between February 1994 to March 2014. Findings revealed that early-life exposure to income inequality was linked to being bullied. While further research on the underlying pathways is required to guide intervention, these outcomes suggest temporality in the connection between inequality and violence and suggest that adolescent victimization is related to growing up in areas of high-income inequality.
