Children in immigrant families make up one-quarter of all children in the United States and represent the fastest growing segment of the country’s increasingly diverse child population.

There is strong evidence that work supports improve people’s immediate and long-term health as well as their educational and economic outcomes. Research also shows that receiving the full package of benefits—not just one program—is especially effective.
