As a white mom during #ShutDownAcademia, here is what I need to own: my race controls 86% of wealth and 73% of income that goes to families with kids in the US.
These are 2016 numbers - think #COVID19 is going to help?

New work using #PSIDdata from @hdsper01, @CourtneyBoen, Lisa Keister and @warrenrlowell finds that low wealth exacerbates the already deleterious effects of low income on health--and that the effect may be driven more by low assets than debt.

New paper w @hdsper01 @warrenrlowell Lisa Keister & me highlighting the role of wealth deprivation in population health inequities.
In 2019 1/3 of US HHs were net worth poor, w esp high rates among Black HHs (60%). This has devastating consequences.

Pop quiz! How can you have poor health?

B) Be net worth poor

Children who are “doubly poor,” lacking in both income and net worth, are at the highest risk for cognitive and behavioral concerns, according to research from @hdsper01 & colleagues in @SociusJournal. Read this "Discovery" by board member @sericson8425 bit.ly/NetWorthPovertyKids
Shout out to our @DukeSanford #publicpolicy honors students, who rock out at reaserch and at charades. Future looks a bit brighter with these smart folks in the mix.

Thursday thoughts! THREAD. What is net worth #poverty (NWP)? How is it related to income #poverty? Why should we care? Insights on a [meaningful] threshold of income/cash flow & wealth/stock of financial resources & #children; w/ @dukesanford colleagues @hdsper01 & L. Keister ⬇️
Happy that work with @Gen_Pov, @warrenrlowell, and Lisa Keister on net worth poverty getting attention.
Would be even happier if child poverty could get more attention than Hary Style's luggage bit.ly/HSLuggage, but can't have everything.

And though I can't compete with Harry Styles and his leopard luggage, I will be on @waberosescott and @wabenews today at 1 to discuss net worth poverty.
