Breaking the Cycle of Poverty: Whole Family Approach

This publication introduces a “two generation” approach as a way to reduce poverty and improve child development.

“The demographics of families in poverty around the globe may be diverse, but parents’ dreams for their children are similar everywhere: good health, a good education, economic stability, and a better future.”

This new report from the Bernard van Leer Foundation and Ascend at The Aspen Institute develops a “two generation” approach to reducing poverty and improving child development by improving services and supporting parents. The report encourages partnerships between children’s organisations and those which provide services to adults.
