Civic service is a long-term, intensive form of volunteering. This article reports on a global assessment of civic service, which identified 210 programs in 57 countries. Program goals and administrative partnerships suggest that civic service is a social development intervention. For civic service to achieve its potential, research is recommended regarding server inclusivity, goal accomplishment, and the nature and effect of partnerships.

Assets Effects On Women: A Study Of Urban Households In Nepal, Shanta Pandey
Center for Social Development Research
This paper examines the effects of private property ownership on women based on a case study in Kathmandu, Nepal. The results show that a higher proportion of women property owners were better educated, had bank accounts and made household financial decisions, had voted in the most recent elections and were satisfied with their lives compared to women without any property. However, these two groups of women were not statistically different in their employment experience, use of contraceptives, and in their experience of domestic conflict.

Given the demographic changes in our society and the positive effects of volunteering on older adults and on service recipients, service opportunities for older adults should be expanded. The development of institutions is a potentially powerful route to maximizing this potential. We propose five dimensions of institutional capacity, including expectation, access, information, incentive, and facilitation. Pilot data indicates that organizations offering service opportunities to older adults vary on these dimensions.

In the United States, Individual Development Accounts (IDAs) are a social development strategy for increasing economic participation and long-term economic security. This article uses cross-sectional survey data (N=298) to describe perceived IDA effects: psychological, economic, social, and civic. Future research can inform the effects of specific program characteristics, such as financial education, as well as the applicability of IDAs worldwide.

Microenterprise Performance: A Comparison Of Experiences In The United States And Uganda, Margaret S. Sherraden, Fred M. Ssewamala, Cynthia K. Sanders
Center for Social Development Research
This article compares microenterprise performance in the United States and Uganda. In-depth interview data and published sources suggest that many of the same factors affect business performance in both countries although scale and details vary considerably. Micro, mezzo, and macro strategies are proposed to maximize entrepreneurial effort, reduce barriers, and strengthen institutional and policy support in both contexts.
Federal Policy And Asset Building, Ray Boshara
Federal Policy And Asset Building, Ray Boshara
Center for Social Development Research
High levels of wealth inequality, combined with insufficient policymaker attention to the asset base of the poor, warrant discussion of emerging public policies to build assets for the poor. This paper summarizes current federal asset-building policies; offers principles and guidelines for designing and advancing more ambitious policies to build assets; and proposes nine specific policy options to build assets inclusively.

Savings Outcomes Of Single Mothers In Individual Development Accounts, Min Zhan
Savings Outcomes Of Single Mothers In Individual Development Accounts, Min Zhan
Center for Social Development Research
This study examines savings outcomes of single mothers in Individual Development Accounts (IDAs), a structured savings program for the poor. Results indicate that low-income single mothers can save in IDAs. Results also show that participant characteristics, in general, have little impact on savings outcomes. Program variables such as monthly savings target and financial education are linked with savings. Policy implications are discussed.
Asset-Building Policy As A Response To Wealth Inequality: Drawing Implications From The Homestead Act, Trina Williams Shanks
Asset-Building Policy As A Response To Wealth Inequality: Drawing Implications From The Homestead Act, Trina Williams Shanks
Center for Social Development Research
Asset-building policy is a complementary alternative to income replacement policies that simply subsidize short-term consumption (Sherraden, 1991). This approach may seem novel, but the Homestead Act provides historical precedent for federal involvement in promoting asset development for individuals. This one policy allowed 1.5 million households to receive 246 million acres of land. More importantly, it provided a tangible asset that could also benefit future generations.
Assets In The Context Of Welfare Theory: A Developmentalist Interpretation, James Midgley
Assets In The Context Of Welfare Theory: A Developmentalist Interpretation, James Midgley
Center for Social Development Research
Although asset policies and programs are seldom linked to wider theoretical debates in social welfare, this paper contends that an understanding of these debates contextualizes asset interventions and clarifies underlying values and ideological beliefs. Contrasting different normative perspectives in contemporary social welfare theory, the paper suggests that developmentalism offers a congenial normative framework for asset programs. In this way, the wider goals of asset programs and their value implications may be explicated and comprehended.
Economic Factors In Intimate Partner Conflict And Violence, Shannon Collier-Tenison
Economic Factors In Intimate Partner Conflict And Violence, Shannon Collier-Tenison
Center for Social Development Research
Based on a secondary analysis of married female respondents (n=3191) to the National Survey of Families and Households, Wave II (NSFH2), this research explores the effects of economic factors and race on intimate partner violence and conflict. Findings from OLS and logistic regression analyses are presented, along with implications for social work practice.
Effects Of Mothers' Assets On Expectations And Children's Educational Achievement In Female-Headed Households, Min Zhan, Michael Sherraden
Effects Of Mothers' Assets On Expectations And Children's Educational Achievement In Female-Headed Households, Min Zhan, Michael Sherraden
Center for Social Development Research
This study examines the effects of mothers’ assets (home ownership and savings) on their expectations and children’s educational achievement in female-headed households. Through the analysis of data from the National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH), results indicate that single mothers’ assets have positive effects on children’s educational achievement, and this effect is partially mediated through expectations. The study also finds that the positive effects of household income on children’s outcomes occur mainly through mothers’ assets. These results lend support for expansion of asset-based policies for poor women with children.
Income, Institutions, And Saving Performance In Individual Development Accounts, Michael Sherraden, Mark Schreiner, Sondra Beverly
Income, Institutions, And Saving Performance In Individual Development Accounts, Michael Sherraden, Mark Schreiner, Sondra Beverly
Center for Social Development Research
This paper examines the relationship between income and saving performance in Individual Development Accounts (IDAs). We first discuss theories of saving. Next, for IDA participants in the American Dream Demonstration, we look at income sources and distribution, followed by tabulations of income and savings outcomes. Following this, we discuss results from regression analyses on savings outcomes. We find that savings amount did not increase with income and that the savings rate decreased with income. Although the data do not reveal exactly what caused this, we believe that institutional factors in IDA programs played an important role.
