Childhood adversity, early school leaving and long-term social benefit use: A longitudinal mediation analysis of a population-wide study
A higher likelihood as well as a greater susceptibility to early school leaving among individuals with a history of childhood adversity, explains a substantial proportion of the additional cases of long-term social benefit use observed in these groups. Multifaceted policies and interventions are needed to address the ramifications of childhood adversity, reduce early school leaving, and limit long-term use of social benefits in the population.
