A recent brief published by the Ray Marshall Center describes the dual-generation strategy theory of change (2012), which suggests that the combination of three core components – high quality early-childhood education; job training for parents; and wrap-around family and peer support services – will lead to long-term academic and economic success for low-income families and their children. The goal of the Dual-Generation Strategy Initiative, which is sponsored by the Foundation for Child Development, is to promote the implementation of strategies at the state and federal level that move parents and children out of poverty together.
