The strengths and abilities children develop from infancy through
adolescence are crucial for their physical, emotional, and
cognitive growth, which in turn help them to achieve success in
school and to become responsible, economically self-sufficient, and
healthy adults. Capable, responsible, and healthy adults are
clearly the foundation of a well-functioning and prosperous
society, yet America's future is not as secure as it could be
because millions of American children live in families with incomes
below the poverty line. A wealth of evidence suggests that a lack
of adequate economic resources for families with children
compromises these children's ability to grow and achieve adult
success, hurting them and the broader society. A Roadmap to
Reducing Child Poverty reviews the research on linkages between
child poverty and child well-being, and analyzes the
poverty-reducing effects of major assistance programs directed at
children and families. This report also provides policy and program
recommendations for reducing the number of children living in
poverty in the United States by half within 10 years. Table of
