dc.description | The goal of the Financial Independence policy conference held on September 16 and 17, 2024 in Washington, D.C. was to bring together experts from the asset and income fields to share theory, evidence, and best practices. The conference was divided into four sessions. The first two sessions were on Children’s Savings Accounts and Baby Bonds, the asset arm of the conference. The third session focused on the income arm. More specifically, it focused on Unconditional Cash Transfers, the Child Tax Credit, and Child Allowances. The final session focused on why solving poverty requires both asset and income proponents to come together. This policy brief is part of the Children’s Savings Account session. | en_US |
dc.description.abstract | Our greatest resources are our children and our capacity to work together. In this context, the key to a successful future—for ourselves and the planet—is developing everyone to the fullest possible extent. Clarity about this basic goal is very much needed, because society throws away enormous potential in human and social capital. We do this by tolerating extreme inequality, racism, inadequate education, child exploitation, and other forms of exclusion. This is not just morally wrong. In very practical terms, it is also unwise neglect of valuable resources. We have not yet built the institutions to realize the potential of the whole society, beginning with all of our children. How can we do better? | en_US |
