RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS

The Research and Analysis sections include pieces that are often cited on issues related to poverty and opportunity.  This selection reflects a wide array of political perspectives.  It is far from comprehensive yet it offers a good start in any examination of key research and analysis around poverty and opportunity.  The subsections include materials available on the internet.

In addition, numerous foundation books are available on poverty, including:

Assets and the Poor: A New American Welfare Policy

Consequences of Growing Up Poor
The Role of the Entrepreneur in Combating Poverty (Ch. 14 of Ending Poverty in America)

It Takes a Nation: A New Strategy for Fighting Poverty

Measuring Poverty: A New Approach

Working and Poor: How Economic and Policy Changes Are Affecting Low-Wage Workers

We encourage you to submit other research to reduce poverty and increase opportunity. To submit your suggestion, e-mail Jodie Levin-Epstein
