The idea
We want people who wish to form a family, have children or start a business to be able to do so with greater confidence. Our interest is to study the economic conditions that could expand those possibilities and help each household build the future it wants.
We would examine household budgets and listen to families' needs before designing initiatives. The research would seek concrete measures that can be assessed for their cost, reach and contribution to families' economic stability.
The purpose
Understand how employment, housing, savings, education and the costs of raising children influence household decisions.
How we envision it
Connect household budget research with proposals for learning, entrepreneurship and income generation.
