New research published in Nature Human Behaviour advances a case for child-centric Black reparations in the United States. The study, co-authored by Faculty Affiliate Lisa Gennetian, Christina Gibson-Davis, and Founding Director William A. Darity Jr. explores how reparations could specifically address long-standing disparities experienced by Black children and their families.
The paper, supported by the Duke Center for Child and Family Policy, is accompanied by three policy briefs that break down the findings: “Making the Case for Black Reparations for Children,” “Racial Wealth Gaps are Larger Among Households with Children,” and “A Child-Centric Cross-Disciplinary Framework to Black Reparations.” Together, these documents provide a detailed look at how systemic inequities begin in childhood and continue across key developmental stages.
