This trend is driving a growing class divide. At the top are planners, who are marrying and having children only after establishing a career. At the bottom--and increasingly in the middle--are drifters, who are having unplanned children early, outside of marriage, and without the stable support of a second parent. This divide is contributing to rising inequality and decreased social mobility for both young parents and their children.\u003cp\u003eThe political right calls for a return to traditional marriage; the left proposes more social programs to help less advantaged families. In \u003ci\u003eGeneration Unbound\u003c\/i\u003e, Isabel V. Sawhill offers a provocative third approach: turning drifters into planners and thereby ensuring that more children are born into families with the means and motivation to care for them--and saving billions of dollars in social costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow do we make this shift? Drawing on behavioral economics, Sawhill offers recommendations for preventing unplanned pregnancy among young adults--for example, by offering greater access to long-acting reversible contraception (such as IUDs) to help stem the tide of children born to parents who are unprepared for the financial and social responsibilities of raising a child.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50363442921745,"sku":"CIN0815725582G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0815725582.jpg?v=1751107879"},{"product_id":"welfare-reform-and-beyond-book-isabel-v-sawhill-9780815706397","title":"Welfare Reform and Beyond","description":"The Brookings Institution's Welfare Reform \u0026amp; Beyond Initiative was created to inform the critical policy debates surrounding the upcoming congressional reauthorization of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program and a number of related programs that were created or dramatically altered by the 1996 landmark welfare reform legislation. The goal of the project has been to take the large volume of existing and forthcoming research studies and shape them into a more coherent and policy-oriented whole. This capstone collection gathers twenty brief essays (published between January 2001 and February 2002) that focus on assessing the record of welfare reform, specific issues likely to be debated before the TANF reauthorization, and a broader set of policy options for low-income families. It is a reader-friendly volume that will provide policymakers, the press, and the interested public with a comprehensive guide to the numerous issues that must be addressed as Congress considers the future of the nation's antipoverty policies. The collection covers the following topics and features a new introduction from the editors: - An Overview of Effects to Date - Welfare Reform Reauthorization: An Overview of Problems and Issues - A Tax Proposal for Working Families with Children - Welfare Reform and Poverty - Reducing Non-Marital Births - Which Welfare Reforms are Best for Children? - Welfare and the Economy - What Can Be Done to Reduce Teen Pregnancy and Out-of-Wedlock Births? - Changing Welfare Offices - State Programs - Welfare Reform and Employment - Fragile Families, Welfare Reform, and Marriage - Health Insurance, Welfare, and Work - Helping the Hard-to-Employ - Sanctions and Welfare Reform - Child Care and Welfare Reform - Job Retention and Advancement in Welfare Reform - Housing and Welfare Reform - Non-Citizens - Block Grant Structure - Food Stamps - Work Support System - Possible Welfare Reform in the Cities","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52135396573457,"sku":"NLS9780815706397","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780815706397.jpg?v=1757548840"},{"product_id":"one-percent-for-the-kids-book-isabel-v-sawhill-9780815777212","title":"One Percent for the Kids","description":"In the United States, long considered the land of opportunity, children born into different types of families begin life with very unequal prospects. A growing group of children is being raised in families in which a poorly educated mother begins childbearing at an early age, often outside marriage, and ends up dependent on public welfare.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52453773476113,"sku":"NLS9780815777212","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52495202156817,"sku":"NIN9780815777212","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780815777212.jpg?v=1759369074"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-isabel-v-sawhill.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
