The Population Association of America Invites you to a Brown-Bag Briefing: “Recession and Recovery: How are Americans Affected?” A weak economy touches almost every American family. While headlines suggest the country is recovering slowly from the most recent economic crisis, it is important to understand the short and long-term consequences of economic recessions. On Monday, July 12, the Population Association of America is sponsoring a panel of distinguished researchers who will present findings, demonstrating how economic downturns affect the most vulnerable U.S. populations: children, young adults, and older Americans. The Population Association of America (www.popassoc.org) is sponsoring this event. The cosponsoring organizations are: Association of Population Centers, Council of Professional Associations on Federal Statistics, Consortium of Social Science Associations, Friends of the National Institute on Aging, Friends of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Population Reference Bureau, Population Resource Center, and Society for Research in Child Development.

SAVE THE DATE: Effect of the Economic Downturn on American Families

Posted by Kimberly Acquaviva, PhD, MSW on May 19, 2010 at 3:30pm

Save the Date: You are invited to an Expert Discussion on the Effect of the Economic Downturn on American Families

July 12 (B-340 Rayburn) – TIME TBA

The current economic downturn has touched almost every American family. High unemployment, depleted college savings accounts and decimated retirement plans are just a few of the problems that have left a large proportion of our population in a precarious financial situation. Policy makers need to understand the cradle-to-grave impact the downturn has had in order to develop policies and ensure the social safety net is wide enough to protect the most vulnerable populations. On Friday, February 5, The Population Association of America is bringing a panel of distinguished, nationally known researchers to Washington DC to sponsor a discussion on the impact the recent financial downturn has had on American families including:
• Children of unemployed or underemployed parents
• Young adults transitioning to higher education or the workforce
• The aging and elderly
We hope you can join us for this important event.

RSVP information will be forthcoming.
