The Social Development Program administered by the Institute of Public Policy encompasses three major work streams:

1. SOCIAL POLICY, which explores the research policy nexus with particular emphasis on household income and work, social investment and social development in cities and regions.

2. CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, in which the IPP has played a leading role in national programs such as Building Tomorrow and Every Child Counts.
