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.
