The Washington Post, April 13, 2016: Bernie Sanders wants the U.S. to stop having the highest child poverty rate among rich countries. Here’s how you can do it.
“For as long as we’ve had credible social science on the topic, scholars have known that the U.S. has had an unusually high rate of child poverty. The world’s leading source on child poverty, the Luxembourg Income Study or LIS, shows that the U.S. child poverty rate has been high for decades. At least since the mid-1980s, more than one in five American children have been in poverty.”
