Episode 1: Setting the Stage
Manage episode 313214063 series 3262728
In the first episode of J-PAL Voices: The Impact and Promise of Summer Jobs in the United States, we introduce you to some of the people you will meet throughout the series: Researchers like Judd Kessler and Sara Heller, who use rigorous randomized evaluations, or randomized controlled trials, to measure the impact of summer jobs programs on crime, incarceration, and employment. Participants like Habiba Khan and Erica Chen, who went through Common Point Queens’ Ladders for Leaders program. Program Directors like Angela Rudolph and Julia Breitman, who oversee summer jobs activities in Chicago and New York City. Over the rest of the season, we explore how summer jobs programs might help foster upward mobility, by diving deep into these programs through the lens of the US Partnership on Mobility from Poverty’s five strategies.
