Key to a state's prosperity are the strength of its work force, the health
of communities, and the efficiency of government investment, all of which
can be enhanced by adopting policies that improve opportunities for children
and families. As state leaders pursue these goals, they need strong research
evidence to help assess which policies can produce results most effectively
and produce a high rate of return on their policy investments.
Policy Matters reports serve as such a guide by assembling research on
effective policies in the areas most important to a family's opportunity
and stability: employment, income and asset growth, health, education, and
healthy family relationships. This research includes state comparisons related
to key policy measures, and is presented in the following reports:

The Center for the Study of Social Policy (CSSP) also provides
technical assistance to policymakers, advocates, and researchers seeking
to use these materials most effectively.
