Abstract
This dissertation examines health disparity among American children and the dynamic change of health disparity over time as children grow up. It diagnoses the reasons of child health disparities by analyzing the dynamic mechanism between children's health, parents' socioeconomic status and family environment. Furthermore, it examines how this disparity transmits from one generation to the next.
