Poverty in the US has plummeted lately thanks to a robust, pandemic-era federal Child Tax Credit, and now that assistance has ended abruptly. What could that mean for families and young children, and what can be done about it at the state level?
I'd like to invite you to join us as we hear from two sets of researchers who asked what happens when you give cash to families with newborns – and are finding answers using very different approaches.
Dr. Andrew Barr and Dr. Alex Smith will share their research looking at the present-day impacts of additional income during infancy for a cohort born in the 1990s, and we'll also get the first set of results from the ground-breaking Baby's First Years study, led by Dr. Katherine Magnuson and Dr. Kimberly Noble.
We'll also hear from our allies in New York about how they passed and are implementing a groundbreaking state-level anti-poverty act.
See you in the webinar,
