Book Description
Each year's poverty figures are anxiously awaited by policymakers, analysts, and the media. Yet questions are increasing about the 30-year-old measure as social and economic conditions change. In Measuring Poverty a distinguished panel provides policymakers with an up-to-date evaluation of: Concepts and procedures for deriving the poverty threshold, including adjustments for different family circumstances. Definitions of family resources. Procedures for annual updates of poverty measures. The volume explores specific issues underlying the poverty measure, analyzes the likely effects of any changes on poverty rates, and discusses the impact on eligibility for public benefits. In supporting its recommendations the panel provides insightful recognition of the political and social dimensions of this key economic indicator. Measuring Poverty will be important to government officials, policy analysts, statisticians, economists, researchers, and others involved in virtually all poverty and social welfare issues.

Book Description
First published in 1998. In August 1996 Congress passed welfare reform legislation designed to "end welfare as we know it." The people most affected by this radical transformation of the public assistance system are families headed by single parents. The authors states that unfortunately, misinformation regarding single parent families is widespread. Too often public policy, such as the 1996 welfare reform, has been based on stereotypes and misperceptions rather than facts. The primary objective was to show how the official measures of poverty underestimate the extent of material hardship in single parent families. The facts, as developed in this book, show that for most single parent families income from employment is not sufficient to support a decent standard of living
