Abstract
  • Americans of most economic classes are experiencing difficulty in climbing the economic ladder. Half of them have no, negligible, or negative investable assets, just as the price of entry into the economic mainstream — for example, the cost of purchasing a house, obtaining an adequate education, or starting a business — is increasing. At the same time, sweeping welfare reform legislation is challenging states to help millions of families become self-sufficient. Individual Development Accounts are a new policy tool directed toward enabling struggling families to build assets and achieve economic well-being.
