Policies and recommendations ; Ending chronic poverty. 520 $a This volume analyzes which programs and policies for children are the most effective for fighting the effects of poverty. Specifically, the author provides benefit-cost analyses of such programs, as well as policy recommendations based on her study. The book includes three overarching themes -- bringing equity to the U.S. educational system; supporting families; and making work pay. She concludes with foundational concepts for building an overarching model of poverty-fighting to bring separate, narrowly defined programs and policies together. She argues for the idea that when we respect and care for the most vulnerable members of our society we create a strong, successful society in which everyone prospers. 650 0 $a Poor children $z United States. 650 0 $a Poverty $z United States. 650 0 $a Poor children $x Services for $z United States. 650 0 $a Children $z United States $x Social conditions. 650 7 $a Children $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00855145 650 7 $a Poor children. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071167 650 7 $a Poor children $x Services for. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071198 650 7 $a Poverty. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01074093 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 2 952 $l URAX314 $d 20170609030857.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20160604011338.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B606531A2A1911E6B9FCA3A3DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
