Striving to Save: Creating Policies for Financial Security of Low-Income Families

By CSD • July 1, 2010January 10, 2020

In Striving to Save, Margaret Sherrard Sherraden and Amanda Moore McBride examine savings in 84 working families with low incomes, including 59 families who participated in a groundbreaking program of matched savings and financial education. In-depth interviews with these families, along with savings and survey data, shed light on saving in low-income households.

The book concludes with recommended public policy approaches for increasing savings in households that are striving to save.
