Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study
A new Index of Deep Disadvantage seeks to unpack poverty beyond income-based measures to other dimensions of disadvantage, including health and social mobility.
National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week is this Saturday, November 11 thru Saturday, November 19th. This week is a nationwide undertaking of the National Coalition for the Homeless to promote education, action and awareness of hunger and homelessness.
FFCWS Co-PI Jane Waldfogel testified to the Joint Economic Committee of the United States Congress on September 10th, 2019. Waldfogel talked about how current public policies improve family and child well-being, and what needs to be done to better support American families in the future.
John Krinjak from ABC6 News, Providence, RI, interviewed Jayanti Owens about her findings on racial disparities in school discipline.
We are happy to announce our plans for the seventh wave of the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study!
