Many countries use direct cash aid programs as an integral part of their social safety net. In the United States, there have been few national efforts, but more and more guaranteed income programs are being implemented at state, county, and local levels. In this episode, Dr. Lisa Gennetian draws on her co-authored paper, "Unconditional Cash Transfers for Families with Children in the U.S.: A Scoping Review," to provide an overview of cash assistance programs both in the US and in other countries, with a particular focus on programs aimed at families with children.
Lisa Gennetian is the Pritzker Professor of Early Learning Policy Studies in the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University. She is also an IRP Affiliate.
