so with that I'm going to turn it over or Garfinkel who with his colleagues

Jane well Vogel and Heidi Alan looked at the status of the profession and

scholarship around to Social Policy so thank you mark thanks to all of you for

coming after a long conference and I hope that what we present will make your

Wow so the paper that I'm doing is social policy and Social Work in the

21st century and with two co-authors Jane wall Fogle and Heidi Allen neither

of whom are here but they have expertise in areas that I don't and made it very

important contributions so our charge is to assess the condition of social policy

research in social work at the dawn of the 21st century we also say a little

bit about the state of the profession in terms of influencing policy just

focusing on the scholarship for a moment it's a daunting challenge to and Markin

it at this and his comments to assess the role of social policy research and

social work because the field is so broad including includes obviously

poverty anti-poverty research tower welfare health aging housing

neighborhood and Community Development anti-discrimination policy some would

say still criminal justice policy of they were not intimately involved in

that any more tax policy is relevant as well and

gender policy so and I could go on that's a partial list so the question

that we face the first question was what do we talk about so our solution was to

focus on only three areas and the criteria for choosing the areas one that

the areas be everyone would agree that the areas we choose are central to

Social Work a second and more pragmatic was that we have some expertise in this

area and that's why we have three of us I have expertise in the broad area of

anti-poverty policy or generally social economic well-being a chain waffle who

has expertise in child welfare and Heidi Allen expertise in health policy the

method which I'll come back to at the end you should think of what we're doing

it's a in some ways novel I hadn't thought of initially but what we do is

focus on what we think are really seminal contributions coming from people

in social work and we so we focus on just leading research in these three

areas I'll come back to that and say the limits of that and to summarize the

findings Social Work scholarship is remarkably strong and I'm an optimist by

nature but I think I hope to convince you that that's not just the reflection

of my personality rather it's a reflection

the evidence so I'm gonna begin with anti-poverty policy or economic

well-being or generally again the vastness of the literature just in this

area requires narrowing and we've narrowed to four areas core poverty

research child support asset development and comparative research cross national

comparative research with respect to core party research I'm going to begin

with overarching research on poverty and here the first thing I thought about was

the Institute for Research on poverty has published I think it's now four

volumes on fighting poverty confronting poverty understanding poverty there was

a fourth but two of those three were edited by Sheldon Danziger who was a

member of the faculty at the University of Wisconsin in Madison and these are my

these were at the time they were published must reads for people who took

seriously scholarship we're interested in overall scholarship in poverty and

here I'm gonna divert a little bit to the state of the profession so again I

think very impressive four of the 13 directors of the Institute for Research

on poverty came from Social Work I've the only profession that has a stronger

representation economics same thing with respect to there's now a National

Academy of Science Panel charged with coming up with how do we reduce poverty

child poverty by half in the next ten years

again four of the 15 National Academy of Science members are

again the only profession that has stronger representation economics

poverty measurement I'll just talk about two contributions there

one is the as I think probably most of you know that in 1995 the National

Academy of Science recommended that we adopt a new measure of poverty as

opposed to the official measure lots of weaknesses of the official measure I

will focus on only one which is the official measure doesn't count the

benefits from the programs that we have actually expanded the most especially

with respect to child poverty so food stamps is not counted the Earned Income

Tax Credit is not counted public housing is not counted in the official measure

finally in 2011 or 2012 the Census Bureau published a supplementary measure

of poverty the SPM and I'm gonna talk about the OPM that's the official

measure of poverty they didn't replace the official measure

it's called supplementary measure D and lots of differences I'm just focused on

one it counts all these benefits cats all these benefits and a group of us at

Columbia University myself Jane wall Fogle a student at the time Liana Fox

and a research scientist Chris Weimer and there are two or three others the

co-authors what we did was to publish take the SPM back in time historically

so the Census Bureau only published data for the teens

I think they go back to 2011 but we took it all the way back to 1967 and the

difference in the reduction in poverty is dramatic if you look at the official

measure the trend in child poverty is actually child poverty goes up a little

from sixty-seven to the current period if you use the SPM we reduce child

poverty by more than forty percent that's a very different narrative the

first narrative is we threw money at problems that didn't work the second

narrative is that money was well spent it was very effective in reducing

poverty a second area I'd cousin and by the way that was cited in the

president's annual economic report of the president on the occasion of the

50th anniversary of the declaration of war on poverty there's a chapter in that

report of the president economic report of the president that looks at a 50-year

look back on the war on poverty and our work is central to that material

hardship social workers have made seminal contributions on material

hardship I remember when I first the the concept was invented by said the

measurement was first done by sandy Jenks the first couple of times I saw

and I had a student in class that I poo pooed the measure and said well I'm

skeptical about it I was that wrong about that and a number of people from

Social Work have published very convincing papers of why this is a good

measure five minutes I thought I had 30 minutes oh my god okay well

enough Santa biding economic insecurity is perhaps a better measure so alright

Chuck I'm gonna go through this quickly child support

I've made some contributions in that dan Meyer and Maria cancion at the

University of Wisconsin have made seminal contributions in this area in

child support I would say that contributions from social workers

dominate the literature and moving ahead quickly to asset development so

yesterday we gave an award to Michael Jordan for his work and asset

development as I've said to friends and colleagues he makes me look like a piker

in terms of what he's done and asset development I don't want to say he's he

and his students and colleagues are the entire literature but it's pretty
