Description
Examines eight areas of the safety net where families are falling through and describes how current policies and institutions could evolve to enhance the self-sufficiency of low-income families. Shows that the "work first" approach alone isn't working and suggests how the social welfare system might be modified to produce greater gains for vulnerable families.
