An analysis of a range of measures of material well-being shows that people living in poor families, in single-parent families, and in families in receipt of welfare are markedly worse off than those living in nonpoor families.

Short, Kathleen su: Families & economics Poor people United States sug: subj: United States Families & economics Poor people ab: An analysis of a range of measures of material well-being shows that people living in poor families, in single-parent families, and in families in receipt of welfare are markedly worse off than those living in nonpoor families. The living conditions of the poor are hard to measure, both because yearly cash income is only one factor related to living conditions and because the poor are relatively heterogeneous. Findings from nine national surveys that give some insight into the living conditions of individuals in poor and nonpoor families are summarized. The results for people living in poor and nonpoor families are separated into seven categories: income sources, spending patterns, housing, consumer durables and utilities, crime and neighborhood, health and nutrition, and education. Overall deprivation is also discussed. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
