Joint Center for Poverty Research - http://ww.jcpr.org

            JCPR concentrates on the causes and consequences of poverty in America and the effectiveness of policies aimed at reducing poverty.

The Center's research agenda focuses on: changing labor markets and the causes of inequality in the current labor market; family functioning and the well-being of children; the impact of concentrated urban poverty; and the effects in these domains - and others - of changing policy and new programs
