Summary/Abstract: This paper analyses the impact of family budget on children outcomes, making a synthesis of different studies. I have identified the main dimensions used in research on the family budget. The paper highlights the main effects of family financial strategies, both the effective and the dysfunctional ones. The fact that poverty generates poor cognitive, behavioural and health outcomes on children is emphasized. I also provide new directions for future studies on Romanian family budget, allocated for children expenditure.
