Advances in research on poverty in the California and the United States require extended data sources, broader and more sophisticated research techniques, and better access to and utilization of research information. The social insurance and poverty research programs at UC DATA collect, archive, and develop new datasets for poverty research as well as provide access to new databases for researchers and generate research results for policy makers. UC DATA has worked with the California Department of Social Services since 1992, not only to design research and evaluations for welfare reforms in the state, but also to document the dynamics of family poverty and welfare use in California.
