Developing Family Development Accounts in Taipei: Policy Innovation From Income to Assets

By CSD • July 1, 2003September 9, 2021

In July 2000, the Taipei City Government launched an anti-poverty program, Taipei Family Development Accounts, which drew heavily on Sherraden’s asset-based welfare theory, and was to provide matched savings accounts for low-income families in the City. This paper presents the “income to assets” policy shift process and a research summary on the participants to date.
