Edited by:

Other Titles in:

January 2024 | SAGE Publications, Inc

Description
Contents

This special issue includes articles that address topics about poverty, including its measurement, policies intended to alleviate it, and the role of the economy in the likelihood of being in poverty. The issue is a tribute to Rebecca Blank who was a leading scholar of poverty and inequality who had an extraordinary career in academic research, government, and university administration. The volume covers the causes, costs, and consequences of poverty. There is particular focus on poverty measurement because of Blanks’s commitment to improved measurement which arose from a conviction that accurate measurement is needed to understand the effects of policies, economic conditions, and changes in social norms on the rate of poverty. The volume includes a final section that explores topics of special interest to Blank, including financial aid policy, the evolving roles of women in leadership, how academics can be more effective in policymaking, and motivations for her work.
