Socioeconomic inequalities and mental health problems in children and adolescents: a systematic review. (2013, background): “As other authors have noted, a wide spectrum of SES measurement tools exists (Shavers, 2007), and instruments should be selected with respect to the health outcome (Geyer, Hemstroem, Peter, & Vageroe, 2006).”
How socioeconomic status, executive functioning and verbal interactions contribute to early academic achievement in Chinese children (2017, background): “One possible explanation is that our SES index, as joint function of parental education, job prestige and income, operates more as a proxy, than a direct measure, of risky family processes, such as interparental conflict, household chaos and material deprivation (Shavers, 2007).”
