1. This important policy brief series focuses on state policy options that 
   have the potential to improve children's economic security by increasing
   family income. More specifically, the series examines policies that seek
   to increase family income by encouraging, supporting, and rewarding 
   work. Read the series introduction here:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Inadequate nutrition, environmental toxins, diminished interaction due 
   to maternal depression, trauma and abuse, lower quality child care, and 
   parental substance abuse. These are some of the risk factors associated 
   with poverty in early childhood. Visit here to learn why the first years 
   of life are more important than had been thought for children's 
   emotional and intellectual development, and why millions of children in 
   the United States are at developmental risk:

   in poverty as Americans in any other age group (16 percent compared to 
   9-10 percent for working and retired adults)? Visit here to learn more:
