Job Opportunity verses Government Aid: Hypothetical Approaches for Improving the Economic Status of Female Heads of Household
[ send me this paper ]
A 2 page analysis of two hypothetical approaches to improving the economic status of low income women and their dependents. Contrasts the benefits and disadvantages of one program providing higher levels of earned income credit and another which provides jobs and equitable wages for a predetermined period. Concludes that he second approach rewards a woman for working but at the same time there is a more immediate cap put on the time that she can benefit from such a program. The woman's work incentive, therefore, is not in the form of government subsidies but in the form of the realization that after three years she will be on her own to provide for the needs of her family. While it may seem like a harsher program in many ways, it is superior to the first in that the taxpayer is not left in the position of indefinitely having to support the families of others.

Poverty: Problems and Solutions
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page paper delineating a complexity of problems associated with poverty. Suggests that these problems require a flexible approach to their solution. This approach must include traditional programs designed to meet the most basic of human needs but it must also include measures to address the more ancillary problems of poverty. These ancillary problems require such measures as the enforcement of labor laws, the provision of child care for single mothers and impoverished families, and a variety of other approaches. Most importantly, however, the solution to poverty is an reintegration of community and family, a break down of the barriers associated with economics, race and age. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
