Summary

In this policy brief, prominent Child Development Account (CDA) experts and researchers present the case that automatic enrollment is essential in a nationwide policy to provide CDAs and build assets for all children in the United States. The Center for Social Development (CSD) has designed and rigorously tested this policy concept, and the authors highlight key evidence on ensuring full participation, efficiency, and long-term success of a federal policy.
