dc.descriptionThe goal of the conference Using Wealth and Income Policies to Forge a New Social Con- tract: Giving People Something to Live For (short title: Financial Independence), 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 begin a more earnest conversation about the development of a new social contract designed to end poverty. The conference 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 component of poverty. Session Three focused on Unconditional Cash Transfers, the Child Tax Credit, and Child Allowances as promising income policy proposals for solving the income component of poverty. Because poverty has both an income and asset component, Session Four discussed why a core component of a new social contract to end poverty must include combining these policies and coalitions.en_US
