In recent years, UC Davis, with the support of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, has taken on a crucial
role in the fight against domestic poverty.
Since its inception in 2011, UCD’s Center for Poverty Research
has sought to shed light on the struggle of the impoverished in
the United States. The center facilitates nonpartisan academic
research on poverty, disseminates findings to the public and
policymakers and provides training for future scholars.
Marianne Page is a Professor of Economics and

issues related to the U.S.
