Three other children in the home also tested positive within a few days,…

Rivers, who is black, claims that the Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) removed her newborn baby from her custody as part of the agency’s “disparate treatment of Black families” which “cause[s]…

The Power of the Success Sequence
Introduction The “Success Sequence,” a formula to help young adults succeed in America, has been discussed widely in recent years, including by Brookings Institution scholars Ron Haskins and Isabel Sawhill. The formula involves three steps: get at least a high school education, work full time, and marry before having children. Among Millennials who followed this…

The Size and Census Coverage of the U.S. Homeless Population

Don’t Be So Shocked That People Still Want Marriage and Children
Four writers at Curbed, the millennial-run, New York-centric real estate site, undertook an ambitious project. To put a price tag on living in New York, they asked young people to describe their ideal life and then tried to calculate how much it would cost. “We decided to put a price tag on the dream lives of a wide…

Will Biden Cross a Line on Poverty?
A new report from the National Academy of Sciences seeks to redefine poverty.
