This session is one of two roundtables sponsored by the University of Wisconsin Institute for Research on Poverty in association with its 50th Anniversary. The discussion will draw from a set of policy proposals prepared for a forthcoming issue of the Russell Sage Foundation’s Journal of the Social Sciences, focusing on innovative, potentially high-impact, specific policy proposals intended to reduce poverty or improve economic wellbeing in the short- and/or long-term. This roundtable specifically focuses on supporting human capital development, self-sufficiency, and access to material needs for low-income populations.
