Abstract:

This report summarizes information from three in-depth papers. It documents the lessons innovative leaders have learned as they have attempted to offer Individual Development Accounts (IDAs) on a larger scale; it highlights how integrating the private sector technique of segmenting the IDA market can greatly improve the performance of IDA programs; and it analyzes what is needed to develop a standardized universal savings product.
