Problems in Administration of Public Welfare Programs, Vol. 2: Hearings Before the Subcommittee on Fiscal Policy of the Joint Economic Committee, ... Second Session; May 3, 4, and 5, 1972 - Softcover
Synopsis
This book explores the specific mechanisms in place when people apply for and utilize welfare programs in the United States. It examines how these welfare programs function together and the impact this has on the lives of grantees. In order to understand welfare programs, the author argues that it is necessary to understand how these programs appear to grantees, who often have to navigate a complex maze of forms, appointments, and government bureaucracy. The analysis in this book is informed by testimony from welfare workers from different levels of government as well as grantees. Through the experiences of these individuals, the author argues that the United States welfare system serves more to maintain and control grantees and their families than to help them achieve upward mobility. Drawing on case studies spanning several years, the author concludes that it is impossible to understand poverty in the United States without understanding the welfare system that purports to alleviate it.
