Opportunity Insights supports policymakers, practitioners, and communities to use our research and data to develop evidence-based solutions for improved economic mobility.
A central part of Opportunity Insights’ mission is to train the next generation of researchers and policy leaders on methods to study and improve economic opportunity and related social problems.
Based at Harvard University, our team of researchers and policy analysts work together to analyze new data and create a platform for local stakeholders to make more informed decisions.
Opportunity Insights (OI) recently published its summer 2024 digital newsletter where you can read about our latest research developments and learn how our evidence is shaping policy and practice.
In this issue:
▶ Building an ‘opportunity economy’ – Prof. Chetty authors a NYT op-ed describing what OI’s research says about how to create one
▶ New data for local decision makers in the Opportunity Atlas + OI’s latest research on Changing Opportunity
▶ New office hours for policy and program leaders to talk with our team
▶ New resource to bridge economic and social divides from the American Academy of Arts and Sciences
▶ and more!
