Savings Policy for the Poor: Can the Poor Become Part of an Ownership Society?
Event
Savings policy and the "ownership society" are clearly on the President's and Congress's agenda next year, and this presents a real opportunity to include low-income people in this agenda. Can the poor save and build assets? If so, how? What's the evidence thus far? What recommendations should we make to policymakers as they begin to craft these policies? Come hear three of the nation's top researchers on savings policy for the poor address these important questions.
