Beginning with the first working paper issued in 2007, Policy Research Division Working Papers were renamed Poverty, Gender, and Youth Working Papers.

Poverty, Gender, and Youth Working Papers continue the tradition of excellent scholarship of the Policy Research Division series. This new series presents results of Council research on such topics as gender and family dynamics, fertility and reproductive behavior, policy development, transitions to adulthood, and urban poverty and health.
