In the mid-1990s, David Ellwood was involved in the United States' rather dramatic change in social policy, moving from a public assistance oriented system toward one designed to support, encourage - and in some cases, require - work. The talk will review the lessons from that episode with an eye toward challenges facing Germany and Europe in the years ahead.
David Ellwood is Scott M. Black Professor of Political Economy and has served as Dean of the John F. Kennedy School of Governance, Harvard University, since 2004. In 1993, he was named Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) where he served as co-chair of President Clinton's Working Group on Welfare Reform, Family Support and Independence. At HHS, Ellwood played a key role in the Administration's development and implementation of critical social policy. A labor economist who also specializes in family change, low pay and unemployment, his most recent research focuses on the changing structure of American families. Ellwood is the author of numerous books and articles, including Welfare Realities: From Rhetoric to Reform, co-authored with Mary Jo Bane.
