Abstract

Abstract Previous research points to the importance of both kin and non‐kin ties within social networks as sources of social support. This study examines the kin and non‐kin providers of specific types of support to dual‐parent low‐income Australian families caring for young children. The study highlights the importance of family and friends as support providers. Study participants tended to rely on family, including parents, siblings and other family members, and friends for emotional and information support. Parents also tended to provide material and practical support. While neighbors and community agencies offered some emotional and information support, overall, these sources were minimal.© 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
