As issues of poverty, family strength, and access to quality education shape the economic and social health of Connecticut, the future of our state’s workforce and fiscal stability depends on prudent policy decisions and strategic investments. Join staff from CT Voices for Children and Estelle Sommeiller, co-author of “The Increasingly Unequal States of America: Income Inequality By State, 1917-2011,” as we explore these important and timely issues, with a focus on Connecticut’s young people.
