Members of the US Partnership on Mobility from Poverty discussed the ideas the Partnership is developing with the scholars; government officials; and nonprofit and business leaders assembled at the Robin Hood and Russell Sage Foundation's Poverty Solutions Conference. Other topics of the day-long convening included neighborhood effects on economic mobility, the characteristics of high-performing schools, housing instability, the potential of big data, and ways to tweak benefit and support systems with insights from behavioral science. A full recap is available on the conference webpage.
