CPC Postdoctoral Scholar Kris Marsh appears as guest on WUNC's The State of Things
Dec 20, 2007
For years, social science
has defined the middle-class family as a married couple, typically with
children. But a new study out of UNC-Chapel Hill challenges that definition,
particularly for the African-American population. Host Frank Stasio gets an
update on who is achieving and maintaining middle-class status in the black
community from Kris Marsh, of the Carolina Population Center; Walter
Farell, a UNC professor of Social Work; and, John Morton, a program director at
Pew Charitable Trusts.
