Moving low-income families out of poor neighborhoods doesn't help the families escape poverty, according to a new study, but it does make them healthier and happier.
一项新的研究表明,搬离贫困社区无助于低收入家庭脱贫,但却能使他们更健康、更快乐。
In a paper published this week in the journal Science, researchers from the University of Chicago, Harvard and other institutions, studied the effects of Moving to Opportunity, an experimental federal housing program in the 1990s that offered housing vouchers to more than 2,000 low-income families so they could move from impoverished areas into mixed-income neighborhoods. A separate control group had similar demographics but didn't move to mixed-income neighborhoods with the help of vouchers.
在《科学》杂志(Science)近期发表的一篇论文中,来自芝加哥大学(University of Chicago)、哈佛大学(Harvard)及其他机构的研究人员分析、阐述了“搬家寻找新机会(Moving to Opportunity)项目的成效。该项目是一项施行于20世纪90年代的实验性联邦住房计划,它通过向两千多个低收入家庭提供住房补贴券来帮助他们从贫困社区搬到不同收入阶层的混合社区居祝在此次研究中,对照组为人口统计学特征相似但没有获得住房补贴券帮助的家庭。
The program aimed to boost education and income, by giving mothers and their children access to better housing and schools, as well as better job opportunities and social networks. By those measures, it largely failed. Participants moved to better housing and safer neighborhoods, but they showed minimal economic or educational gains.
