The Decentralization of the US Safety Net (webinar)

December 14, 2016
1:00 PM – 2:00 PM
Webinar

The safety net for working-age adults and families is decentralized by design, allowing states wide discretion and producing large state-to-state differences in policies, benefits, and inclusiveness. In this webinar, Sarah Bruch, Department of Sociology, University of Iowa; Marcia Meyers, School of Social Work and Evans School of Public Affairs, University of Washington; and Janet Gornick, Graduate Center, City University of New York (CUNY) will draw on work that appeared in a recent IRP Discussion Paper to discuss the scope of this variation and the potential implications for U.S. safety net policies, poverty, and inequality.
