"McCloskey, a former director of economic policy at the American Enterprise Institute, said she supports reforming child and dependent tax credits to help low-
income mothers stay in the workforce.
“It needs to be part of the conversation when we talk about opportunity for all and economic mobility,” said McCloskey, who works from her home in Dallas and is eight months pregnant. But, she added, these are “not solely women’s issues.”"

"Republican politicians and working women both have much to gain from conservative engagement with women's economic issues. To be sure, men and women alike benefit from conservatives' traditional agenda of promoting economic growth, reducing regulation, incentivizing innovation, and lowering taxes. Republicans should continue to vigorously pursue these pro-growth policies.
In a country dealing with stalled economic growth, rising government debt, and low work-force participation, increasing rewards for work and reducing the barriers that make work difficult for mothers will encourage more women to participate in and contribute to the economy. The conservative principles of promoting work, reducing the tax burden, protecting freedom of choice, and investing in human capital can and should be applied to these challenges to help women succeed in today's economy and contribute to greater national prosperity."

"In this paper, we review the literature on the state of intergenerational mobility in America. Most studies find that a parent’s level of income is a significant determinant in a child’s income level. The causes for persistence identified by the literature include (1) segregation, (2) income inequality labor market challenges, (3) welfare programs, (4) education, and (5) family structure. We provide policy proposals in each of these areas."

"Republicans would do well to focus their attention on stagnating incomes – an issue felt by nearly 90% of the U.S. population. From 2010 to 2013, mean household income fell or was flat for all except the top income decile, according to recent research from the Federal Reserve. Low-wage workers were the hardest hit. Mean income for households in the bottom quintile declined by 8% during this time period.
