Patler Publishes Research Report on DACA Impacts

Results of a study that was funded in part by a CSRC research grant have been published by the UCLA Institute for Research on Labor and Employment. The report, From Undocumented to DACAmented: Impacts of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) Program, explores longer-term impacts of the federal DACA program, which was initiated in August 2012. It assesses the health, well-being, and educational and socioeconomic status of DACA recipients in comparison with undocumented youth who do not have DACA status. Caitlin Patler, the lead author, completed her research for the report as part of doctoral work in sociology at UCLA. A PDF of the report is attached below.
