HS 502A — Child, Youth, and Family Poverty: Research and Policy

Examines major trends and policy approaches related to poverty among children, youth and families. The term will open with an overview of the significance of poverty, critically examining how poverty is measured, identifying major effects of economic hardship on children and families, and exploring anti-poverty policy's accessibility and impact. Against this background, we will study specific poverty topics, based on student's interests. Usually offered every year.
