The Puerto Rico Poverty Measure
|
|
|
Sara Kimberlin, Executive Director of CPI, recently presented at a webinar hosted by the Instituto del Desarrollo de la Juventud (IDJ) on the Puerto Rico Poverty Measure (PRPM). This new measure – a milestone in Puerto Rico’s poverty-reduction efforts – makes it possible to monitor trends in poverty, identify pockets of extremely high poverty, and evaluate anti-poverty programs. The CPI has been providing occasional advice to the IDJ on the development of this measure.

The Profile Series … dedicated to learning more about leading inequality scholars
|
|
|
Alexandra K. Murphy, an assistant professor of sociology and faculty affiliate of the Population Studies Center at the University of Michigan, received a CPI grant several years ago to develop a new measure of transportation insecurity. The brilliant idea behind this measure: We can't understand the fallout of transportation barriers and insecurity in the U.S. without measuring it...just as we can't understand food or housing insecurity without measuring them. This new measure of transportation insecurity has now been embraced as the gold standard in a recent National Academies report. And there's more! Alexandra is also working on the causes of transportation insecurity, the consequences of transportation insecurity, and a new book on suburban poverty (When Sidewalks End). It's time to take a close look at her important work!
