This issue features three articles that draw from the March 2018 “Rural Poverty: Fifty Years After The People Left Behind” conference, all on the theme of the social safety net and poverty dynamics (poverty entries and exits). The articles explore what affects transitions into and out of poverty, and how the social safety net in the United States affects those experiencing such transitions in rural versus urban areas.
