dc.descriptionThe 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 as part of an effort to work toward development of a new social contract capable of ending poverty. It was divided into four sessions. Sessions one and two focused on Children’s Savings Accounts and Baby Bonds as promising asset building policy proposals for solving the wealth inequality aspect of poverty. The third session focused on Unconditional Cash Transfers, the Child Tax Credit, and Child Allowances as promising income policy proposals for solving the income inequality aspect of poverty. Because poverty has both an income and asset component, the final session discussed why a core component of a new social contract meant to end poverty must include the combining of these strategies. This policy brief is part of the Children’s Savings Account session.en_US
dc.description.abstractKeystone Scholars is Pennsylvania’s statewide Children’s Savings Account (CSA) program, administered by the Pennsylvania Treasury Department. It provides a $100 deposit for post-high school education savings to every Pennsylvania child at birth. Keystone Scholars sets the expectation at birth for every child in Pennsylvania to pursue some form of post-high school education, including community college, technical training and apprenticeships, and it encourages families to start saving on their own early in the child’s life.en_US
