Low-Income Working Families

an Urban Institute project

Over 13 million American families with children have incomes under 200% of the federal poverty level. These families have difficulty making ends meet even if they work full-time. The Low-Income Working Families (LIWF) project tracks the well-being of low-income families over time and analyzes the risks these families face. Our researchers identify the factors that contribute to poor outcomes for these families and policy options that would reduce barriers and promote meaningful work for adults and positive outcomes for children.
