Former Stoneleigh Fellow Meredith Matone and her PolicyLab colleague Rebecka Rosenquist reflect on the most pressing concerns for children and families a year into the COVID-19 pandemic.
Just over a year ago, we wrote a piece highlighting areas of particular concern for children and families as the COVID-19 pandemic was unfolding. While in many ways we remain in a crisis, the landscape looks very different than it did in March 2020, with a road to recovery that is very uneven and inequitable. It’s once again time to take stock of the most pressing concerns for children and families, particularly in under-resourced communities, and analyze our response to date.
