Launched in 2013, J-PAL North America is celebrating 10 years of catalyzing policy-relevant research to reduce poverty in the region, as part of J-PAL's 20-year worldwide celebration. Bringing together policymakers, practitioners, and researchers, we will showcase what we have learned to advance economic mobility in North America, based on a decade of work supporting rigorous randomized evaluations and advancing evidence-based policymaking.
This two-day gathering will feature groundbreaking research supported by J-PAL North America over the past decade—building on J-PAL's 20-year experience worldwide—that addresses important social policy questions such as: How can we empower low-income Americans to achieve economic and social mobility? How can we reduce discrimination to ensure a more equitable society? How can we promote healthier behavior and improve health outcomes in low-income communities? How can we make our government work better for all people? Join us for discussions with leading experts, groundbreaking research presentations, and networking opportunities.
During this event, we will also celebrate the achievements of our incredible network of partners, researchers, and funders and provide opportunities to meet with and learn from fellow leaders. We will also highlight our vision to reduce poverty and advance equity by scaling up evidence-based programs in the region over the next 10 years.
