The Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequality is a nonpartisan research center dedicated to monitoring trends in poverty and inequality, explaining what’s driving those trends, and developing science-based policy on poverty and inequality. The Center, a program of the Institute for Research in the Social Sciences at Stanford University, supports research by new and established scholars, trains the next generation of scholars and policy analysts, and disseminates the very best research on poverty and inequality.

The Stanford Poverty and Technology Lab is dedicated to building new products that exploit the capacity of technology to reduce poverty. The lab, which brings together teams of students, faculty, and Silicon Valley leaders, will build such technology-driven innovations as one-stop centers for poverty-reducing programs and services, job referral and connective services for low-wage and low-skill labor, and interventions that increase and improve information about opportunities for adults and children. The no-holds-barred objective: To develop a suite of ambitious “Silicon Valley” anti-poverty interventions that change the face of poverty in the Bay Area, the U.S., and beyond.
