A new brief from the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program by Katherine Lucas McKay, Joanna Smith-Ramani and Tashfia Hasan.
This brief explores the links between racial disparities in debt and those in wealth. It is informed by traditional research and by Aspen FSP’s years of engagement with consumers and families about their financial challenges. It reflects findings from a literature review, interviews with experts from the academic and private sectors, analysis of federal survey data, and focus groups and consumer surveys.
