This paper defines parameters for a basic need for child care, followed by a demonstration of poverty thresholds and rates using price data to construct need.

This paper explores using Fair Market Rent data to geographically adjust poverty thresholds and estimate Supplemental Poverty Measure rates.

The goal of this paper is to release a methodology to produce county-level Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) estimates from the 1-year ACS.

This paper explores implementation of a recommended change to capping child care expenses in the Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) for key groups of parents.

This paper compares the effect of using different methods of estimating child care expenses on poverty rates under the new, experimental poverty measure.

This paper examines various methods of accounting for work related expenses (including child care expenses) in a new measure of poverty.

This note compares data from the CPS ASEC 2010 and SIPP 2004 Wave 5 on child support paid.

This paper will take advantage of information derived from ACS questions to describe and analyze alternate methods of estimating commuting costs.

Median weekly work-related expenses for 2015 increase from $40.22, using Wave 10 of the 2008 SIPP, to $47.17 using Wave 1 of the 2014 SIPP.

This paper assesses child care cost estimates from the 2010 Current Population Survey’s Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS ASEC).

In this poster, we link self-reported child care expenses in the CPS ASEC to CCDF child care subsidy administrative records to see how closely they align.

This paper has addressed two elements in an improved measure of poverty as recommended by the National Academy of Sciences.
