| 项目名称： | How do car donation programs effect travel, income, and healthcare access among poor families? |
| 摘要： | What happens when you give poor families a car? For decades, scholars have suggested that giving poor families cars can help them move up the economic ladder, yet these programs have rarely been studied. This research will study changes in poor families� lives when they receive a car from the largest vehicle donation program in the country. First, the research team will analyze existing survey data to assess the changes in employment, income, and travel. Second, the team will interview the recipients of cars to learn how car ownership improves healthcare access, enables a richer social and civic life, and expands education opportunities. |
