Opportunity Insights: Expanding Possibilities for Children to Rise Out of Poverty

Grant Year: 2023

Raj Chetty, David Deming, John Friedman, and Nathaniel Hendren will lead the research program of a policy lab examining the effectiveness of a variety of pathways to increase economic opportunity for adults and children from disadvantaged backgrounds. They will assess the role of post-secondary education in promoting opportunity, evaluate place-based efforts to improve neighborhood opportunity, and identify long-term drivers of economic opportunity. The policy lab will disseminate its findings through a series of papers, policy briefs, and presentations for members of the policy community.
