Synopsis
This book makes a multifaceted approach to the problems of poverty, welfare, and discrimination—giving readers a close-up look at not only the economic issues, but also the social and political effects. Its content includes the latest (1998) poverty profiles and special Census Bureau tabulations. Major policy initiatives such as welfare reforms, child support, healthcare, and job training are also discussed. A special focus is placed on the new welfare (TANF) system, and an assessment of its impact on welfare caseloads and poverty. For anyone who wants to measure the problems, analyze the causes, and review the policies that impact poverty and discrimination.
