Abstract
In this hearing on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program before the Subcommittee on Nutrition of the US House Agriculture Committee, Caroline Ratcliffe describes findings from her research on childhood poverty, with a particular focus on how it relates to adult success. This research spotlights the obstacles poor children face—such as completing high school, graduating from college, and maintaining consistent employment—and helps policymakers understand what it would take to break the cycle of poverty.
