At a workshop held on July 7, 2011, leading experts, journalists, policy advocates, and government officials gathered to discuss how trends in four areas — the economy, demographics, the workplace, and lifestyles — will affect the poor and vulnerable in America in the coming decade. In these proceedings, the authors summarize the four trends, present the results of the workshop's assumption-based planning exercise, and supply key conclusions. They focus throughout on the role of philanthropic institutions, such as the project sponsor, the Rockefeller Foundation, in helping to address the challenges likely to confront America's poor and vulnerable, which include a growing jobs-skills mismatch and inadequate funding for social services.
