Renewing the Promise of the Middle Class

This conference will explore the latest research on ways to renew the promise of the middle class, including:

• emerging trends, recent developments, and historical legacies in education, employment, housing, credit, wealth, health, and other areas affecting the middle class;
• policy innovations and legacies that either encourage or discourage the creation of an inclusive middle class; and
• actions by individuals and institutions, including governments, financial institutions, community groups, businesses and non-profits, to create new and enduring paths to the middle class.
