Fragile Urban Families

11/27/10. Many children left behind.

Kay S. Hymowitz:

"New findings show just how bad things are for the kids.


Poverty is on the rise, according to census data, and now affects 14.3 percent of the population, up from 13.2 percent in 2008. A stumbling economy obviously explains the recent uptick. But those who think that poor urban families’ problems have an economic fix would do well to pick up the fall issue of The Future of Children, a journal jointly published by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Brookings Institution . . ."
