Moving Beyond Child Poverty to Promote Family Economic Well-Being

Child Trends hosted a virtual session on September 20, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. EDT to unpack a decades-long decline in child poverty and more recent shifts following COVID-19 aid, and to probe how well common poverty indicators have captured changes in child and family well-being. This webinar included a panel representing research, advocacy, direct service, philanthropy, and human services, who discussed what it takes to build a social safety net focused on economic well-being rather than poverty.
