What is said at 14:19
"I wanna talk about child support enforcement in poor families, because we now know, over 25 years after the welfare reform legislation in 1996, that indeed child support enforcement in poor families has been quite problematic. There is a consensus now that child support enforcement does not operate very effectively for many disadvantaged families. And those families make up about a quarter of the child support caseload. Poor noncustodial parents owe the majority of the child support debt, and relative to nonpoor families, they owe a disproportionate share of it."

What they argue
Legal researcher documents how 1980s-90s enforcement reforms that work for steady earners leave poor families with unpaid support and large child support debt (her paper "The Child Support Debt Bubble"); diagnostic critique rather than a specific reform proposal.
