One Percent for the Kids: New Policies, Brighter Futures for America's Children

Description: One Percent for the Kids by Isabel V. Sawhill Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description In the United States, long considered the land of opportunity, children born into different types of families begin life with very unequal prospects. A growing group of children is being raised in families in which a poorly educated mother begins childbearing at an early age, often outside marriage, and ends up dependent on public welfare. Publisher Description This volume argues forcefully that the life prospects of children can be improved substantially by reallocating one per cent of the gross domestic product to childrens programmes. Each chapter contains a specific proposal for change, as well as information about the rationale and cost of the initiative. The topics covered include preventing teen child-bearing, early care and education, parental leave, income support, health care, preschool and afterschool programmes, strengthening families, making work pay and moving families to better neighbourhoods. Author Biography Isabel Sawhill is vice president and director of the Economic Studies program at the Brookings Institution. She served as associate director of the Office of Management and Budget.
