Poverty and Family Income Internships

Current priorities include research on child poverty, family economic security, and economic policies that affect children's well-being. The ideal intern will have a strong interest on how poverty affects children and how federal and state policies help reduce child and family poverty.

Interns will:

• Perform research and literature reviews on child poverty and family income topics
• Use public databases and publications to find current data on child poverty and family income
• Attend conferences and hearings on related poverty and family income topics
• Provide other research as needed to the Policy Team's economist

 This internship is ideal for students in the fields of:

• Public policy
• Economics
• Sociology
• Demography

Strong consideration will be given to graduate and upper-level undergraduate students with either academic background or professional experience in economics or public policy. Strong research background, analytical abilities, and good writing ability needed. Strong quantitative skills preferred.
