"Changing Poverty, Changing Policies" is based on a UW conference hosted by IRP.
A new book "Changing Poverty, Changing Policies" is out this month and is based on a UW conference hosted by the Institute for Research on Poverty last year.
The book reviews a wide range of public policy reforms aimed at increasing the employment and earnings of low-income individuals, helping parents better balance their work and family obligations, and raising the educational attainment and skills of the next generation.
Not only does the new book provide vital knowledge about what works from some of the nation’s top poverty researchers, it also offers real hope for change—the Wisconsin Idea writ large.
