SYMPOSIUM + DATA TRAINING: NYC Poverty Tracker
On May 18th, 2023, the Center on Poverty and Social Policy (CPSP) will host a symposium and data training featuring the Poverty Tracker, a unique longitudinal study of the dynamics of poverty and disadvantage in New York City. Please join us this year for an in-person symposium to discuss the unique features of our data and highlights of a decade of research on the Poverty Tracker. In addition, we have amassed a powerful set of data that we want to turn over to you. Much of our data is available for use, and we want to show you how to use it. For people interested in learning more, we will conclude with an optional data training.
