The Measure of America 2010-2011: Mapping Risk and Resilience /Kristen Lewis and Sarah Burd-Sharps. American Human Development Project of the Social Science Research Council, 2010.

The Measure of America 2010-2011 shines a spotlight on risks to progress and opportunity, and identifies tested approaches to fostering resilience among different groups: Who is most at risk for obesity? How can workers secure better footholds in the job market? How important is early childhood education? This report provides the tools necessary to build upon past policy successes, protect the progress made over the last half century from emerging risks, and develop an infrastructure of opportunity that can serve a new generation of Americans.
