Lastly, children’s future occupational income and prestige trajectories are effected by peer victimization. According to “Effect of Childhood Victimization on Occupational Prestige and Income Trajectories”, childhood victimization has long-term consequences on economic well-being. The authors hypothesized that young adults who experienced more childhood victimizations would have lower jobs and incomes compared to those with no victimization history. A sample of 8,901 young adults aged 18–28 surveyed between 1999–2009 from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY) were analyzed. Victimization effects were tested for moderation by sex, race, and ethnicity in the multivariate models. Approximately half of their sample reported at least one instance of childhood

Considering violence towards children has proven to be a major public health problem and its negative effects tend to cumulate over time, there remains a lack of research investigating its effects on future occupational prestige. Although some studies have reported an association between childhood victimization and lower earnings in adulthood, very little is known about the negative effects of childhood victimization on occupational prestige. As the effect of childhood victimization on occupational prestige and income population of racial/ethnic minorities in the US continues to rise, it is important to include these diverse subgroups in prospective longitudinal studies, as their socioeconomic impacts of victimization are unclear. Childhood victimization has been linked to several behaviors that limit occupational growth potential, such as: lower productivity, more frequent tardiness or absenteeism, job termination, and fewer hours worked. In the pooled income models, all groups in our sample had incomes that were $301/year lower for each victimization
