Challenges for marginalized minority parents in different welfare systems: Child welfare workers’ perspectives

Abstract

This article explores the challenges that marginalized minority parents face raising their children in England, Norway and the United States. While there are similar patterns of challenges across the three countries, such as cultural differences, including lack of language proficiency and knowledge of the society and systems, cross-country differences seem primarily to correspond to different systems of welfare aims and services. We discuss the implications of these findings on underprivileged minority children.
