Universal Pre-K as Economic Stimulus: Evidence from Nine States and Large Cities in the U.S. (WP-25-25): Institute for Policy Research - Northwestern University During the Covid-19 pandemic, many organizations shifted to remote work. This shift in employment context occurred along with an increase in experiences of racism toward Asian Americans, as well as a continuation of racism toward other marginalized groups. In this research, the researchers explore the relationship between remote work, discrimination, and intra-minority solidarity.

A working paper by @kirabojackson.bsky.social and colleagues finds that Universal Pre-K can deliver substantial economic benefits. In nine states and cities, UPK programs increased employment—especially among women—and raised earnings. #WorkingPaperWednesday spr.ly/63325hPxlJ
