NIU Humanities Problem Statement for Policy Analysis Memorandum – Description
Problem Statement
This assignment is designed to help students define and articulate the policy problem on which the policy analysis will be
based. Divide your memorandum into two distinct parts. In the first part provide a sketch of the context for your
problem. What is the problem that you are addressing? Next, discuss why a public policy solution is necessary. Is there a
market failure that the government needs to correct? Or is a policy solution necessary to ensure citizenship rights
(political, civil or social)? Any given policy problem could be framed in either way. It is up to you to decide what frame
is most persuasive to you.
