Population Count
The number of young kids in America with immigrant parents doubled from 2.9 million in 1990 to 5.8 million in 2013.
This paper — the result of a roundtable discussion hosted by the Casey Foundation and the Center for Law and Social Policy — explores policy and practice reforms that can help both parents and kids in immigrant families thrive.
The roundtable participants identified four action steps that aim to improve opportunities for parents and kids in immigrant families. These are: 1) spread a sense of urgency and opportunity; 2) create strategic partnerships; 3) build new mainstream institutions that advance a two-generation approach; and 4) think big and small as well as short- and long-term.
