Overview
The Niskanen Center’s Poverty and Welfare program conducts research and advocacy on public policies that enhance the economic security of low-income households and marginalized groups. The Center does this by communicating the case for progressive reforms to nontraditional audiences on the center-right through research and framing techniques that appeal to pro-family and pro-worker values. This project will enable the Center to deepen its research and communications on the impact of deindustrialization on communities of color. Explicating the underappreciated role of U.S. manufacturing decline on the economic mobility of Black workers will help bolster cross-partisan interest in pro-worker industrial policies over the next 12 months, while providing "populist conservatives" with a framework for transcending the politics of racial grievance and austerity in a post-Trump era.
