Mark Melnik, director of economic and public policy research, is quoted in an article exploring the low birth rate in Boston. “Boston is a pretty young place,” Melnik says. For young adults aged 18-30, “they are in prime birthing ages, but not in the age groups that are usually starting families.” https://lnkd.in/eQkPuY6A

The characteristics that showed the greatest correlation with Massachusetts county-level net coverage errors were adults aged 25+ without a high school degree and female-headed households. However, the Census Bureau cautions that while undercounts of the young child population have been a recurring issue from census-to-census, the direct cause of the net coverage error is not known. Therefore, the statistical relationship between the socioeconomic factors outlined in the analysis referenced in the graphic and the net coverage error should be considered for their correlative association rather than causal effects.

The Summer 2024 issue of MassBenchmarks examines current conditions in the Massachusetts economy, while highlighting significant policy challenges facing our state. This issue, in particular, explores the high cost of living in Massachusetts — an ongoing concern that poses risks to the overall competitiveness of the Commonwealth. The first feature article investigates the role that investors play in residential housing markets, while offering several policy recommendations to reduce real estate speculation. The second feature examines the costs and benefits of a proposed program to provide direct financial assistance to eligible families with young children to help them cover childcare and preschool expenses. A final section describes the Healey-Driscoll Administration’s strategic vision for a more economically competitive and livable Massachusetts. https://lnkd.in/eN_p_YuH
