Meetings of the US/UK Welfare Reform Working Group occurred in 1999 and 2000. The meetings, attended by US and UK welfare reform experts and funded by the German Marshall Fund, compared and contrasted welfare reform efforts in the two countries in an effort to better understand each other¹s initiatives and to envision new approaches. Two papers from the Working Group are available: one on the UK commitment to end child poverty and how that might be adopted in the US, and the other a primer for the UK on the type of infra-structure or retooling of welfare department offices that is necessary before welfare reform can occur.
