About this title

Synopsis

The fifth edition of the classic volume on public and private social insurance and related programs now operating in the United States. Thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the 1981 reports of several national commissions and the views of the Reagan administration. New edition features two new chapters on Old Age and Survivors Insurance (Social Security), the first dealing with coverage and benefits, the second with financing and administration. Covers all economic security problems caused by death, old age, poor health, unemployment, poverty, and substandard living conditions, with in-depth analyses of the programs designed to alleviate these conditions. Emphasizes public social insurance and welfare programs.
