Abstract	Two-generation (2Gen) programs and policies create opportunities that allow adults and the children in their lives to build on each other's successes. Ensuring that both parents and children have access to affordable, high-quality educational opportunities, for example, is a core component of a 2Gen approach. Investments in the postsecondary success of parents with young children can increase attainment of credentials leading to good jobs, bring children the benefits of high-quality learning environments, promote later college-going among children, and improve family economic security across generations. This fact sheet provides information on the student parent population including college debt, grades, and how to promote student parent college success. (ERIC).
