@LM_Berger (Director of @IRP_UW) and I wrote a piece for @FamStudies about the @theNASEM report on child poverty. Reducing child poverty is good for kids and good for the economy. But will the U.S. rise to the challenge?

To substantially reduce child poverty, additional investments will be required, which could come in the form of means-tested or universal supports. ifstudies.org/blog/the-nas-r… @LM_Berger @marcyjcarlson
