Children in Poverty: The Fundamental Issue.

Busby, Wayne; Busby, Fran

Journal of Children and Poverty, v2 n1 p65-91 Win 1996

Documents the plight of children in poverty, examines the secondary effects of poverty upon the person and community, analyzes why the current subsidy approach has been ineffective, and seeks a holistic explanation for poverty. A universal, revenue-neutral approach to reducing poverty based on "supplementation" and "empowerment" is proposed. (GR)
