Poverty Reduction
Fight against poverty in the U.S.
Even the richest nations in the world like the United States are not immune the problem of poverty. This paper takes a critical look at poverty and the political fight against poverty in the United States. In this article, I argued that poverty is caused by several factors. The paper also examines the liberal and conservative reduce poverty in America. Conservatives focused on individual factors such as the wage gap wide, family disintegration, racial factors and other reasons, then Liberals have emphasized the structural transformation of the economy of the United States to explain the persistence of poverty. Since 1960, two federal and state governments have responded with policies that address the problem with mixed results. In this paper, we analyzed policies and also recommended ways to treat intractable nature of poverty.
According to Sen (1981), "the poor are those whose consumption does not meet regulatory standards or whose incomes are below this line. "The word" poverty "suggests destitution and inability to provide families with nutritious food, clothing and affordable housing. More than thirty-six million Americans live below the official poverty line of U.S. (Blank, 2007). This means a family of three earning less than $ 16,000 for one person earns $ 10.300 year (White, 2007, p. 17). Millions more struggle each month to pay for basic needs, or run savings when they lose their jobs or emergency health. Job cuts, high unemployment, seizures and food and gas prices continue to stimulate the formulation of policies to improve the condition of the poor.
Poverty is closely associated with poverty and suffering. The lost potential children in poor households and lower productivity and incomes of poor adults linked to poor health, increased crime and neighborhood broken. Child Poverty often leads to health care and poor neighborhoods of crime. Persistent poverty is estimated at 500 children billion per year, or about 4% of gross domestic product (White, 2007, p. 1).
One in eight Americans lives of poverty and poverty United States is much higher than in many developed countries (Rebecca Blank, 2007, p.1). Inequality has reached record. Richest 1 percent of Americans in 2005 held the largest share of turnover of the nation (19%) since 1929 (Rebecca Blank, 2007, p. 2). At the same while the poorest 20% of Americans held only 3.4% of turnover of the nation (Rebecca Blank, 2007, p.2).
Colorado, despite surrounded by the beautiful Rocky Mountains and experience a cool climate of the mountain has many homeless. The researchers noted that a growing number increase in single parent families, lack of jobs for workers with low wages and low rates of graduation from high school have contributed to growing poverty in Colorado. The poverty rate in Colorado has increased by 9.2% in 2000-2001 to 10.6% in 2005-2006, while the poverty rate in the U.S. rose 11.5% in 2000-2001 to 12.5% in 2005-2006 (Center for Law and Policy, 2006, p. 1). Most of these poor poor suffer from mental health problems y.
Causes of Poverty
Policy analysts are trying to explore many direct and indirect causes of poverty seen in the United States to establish effective policies to fight against poverty. Work Scholars such as Corley (2003), Sowell (2004), Iceland (2006), Jencks (1992), James Tobin (1993) and others have shown intractability of poverty is the result of not having a single factor, but the interaction of a variety of causes. The breakup of the family and other causes social and structural changes in the economy, have contributed to the failure of society to eliminate poverty despite efforts by policy analysts burning.
individual explanations of poverty are concentrated mainly on the factors of attitude or motivation, and factors of human capital. Thus, lack of motivation among the homeless causes of poverty. generous welfare programs is reflected Sometimes the mentality of the beneficiaries and they prefer to stay home and enjoy the benefits rather than outside. Murray (1984) argues that people prefer to stay on welfare because of lack of incentive to leave social programs.
The development and proliferation policies to fight against poverty has been a major concern of the Government of the United States since 1960. The level of education needed for obtain gainful employment. Elementary school education and lack of skills and motivation among the homeless on the situation is the main cause of poverty. People are well equipped with technical skills to find a high paying job while receiving a salary drop low during hours. During the 1960s when then President Lyndon Johnson began to apply the U.S. war on poverty, the emphasis put a lot in education (Jencks, 1992). The administration of Lyndon Johnson, even invested in programs like the head of vocational training Start and improve the skills of the poor and future generations of work in low paid jobs. Scholars such as Sowell (2004) and Corley (2003) emphasized that individual factors central causes of poverty. They argue that compensation for a person based their education and business skills. Sowell (2004) argues that the lack of appropriate skills has affected the ability of the poor to multiples of poverty. He further contends that there was an increase in poverty rates for unskilled Americans who have lost jobs to immigrants Asian. Corley (2003) also supports the above argument and refers to "the absence of level of education" as a source persistent poverty. The low quality of education for lack of funding results from the city center a few schools in skills leading to a wage and other miseries associated with it, least able to afford a home, food, clothing, medical care, poor neighborhoods, funding problems for schools, and an increased risk of severe disease (Corley, 2003).
Many researchers have argued that the changes Structural the main reason the persistence of poverty in the United States. The structuralists focus on issues such as unemployment, discrimination in education, institutional racism and economic transformations explanation of the causes of poverty. Researchers say that the inability to provide decent jobs to pay for certain families of America and the inefficiency of public policy of the United States to reduce poverty are mainly result of structural deficiencies and processes. Poverty has its roots in the structure of American society. Rank, 2004 supports the above view and argues that the lack of human capital tends to place individuals in a vulnerable state in which the events and crises occur. The impact of these events as job loss, family disruption and health problems often poverty. This unhappy people unable to manage these situations arise often pay more. The researchers also argue that the acquisition of human capital is strongly influenced by the impact of social classes in this process (Rank, 2004). Apart from a poor family, race and gender also plays a role in the acquisition of human capital (Marcos Robert Rank, 2004).
Globalisation, the expansion of credit markets leads to greater debt and entered into a recession in 2008, mainly due to increased poverty. Iceland (2006) focused primarily on economic factors, arguing that poverty is also a product of deindustrialization. As changes in U.S. manufacturing plan, the industrial society to a society based on high-tech services, many works blue collar workers that require little education, but pay either disappear or are outsourced. Rural areas such as the Appalachians suffer job losses mining, and many cities like Detroit manufacturing jobs lost to automation of factories abroad. Some people are unable follow the work or go to work, they find themselves unemployed in the suburbs or the tax base to support necessary social functions, as schools, public transport, police, and so on. Others simply can not find work because of the transition to a based services, in economic terms, these people are unemployed due to structural change acquire the necessary skills. Tobin (1993) supports the view above and focuses on the disappearance of jobs in the decade of 1900 as the country's main reason for not eradicating poverty. Recent data show that the employment crisis in the U.S. housing crisis and credit markets threaten the United States to increase levels of poverty. Isidoro (2008) reports that job losses are widespread, with the battered construction sector losing 51,000 jobs and employment manufacturing fell by 48,000 in 2008. sector employment fell by 12,000 jobs, and business and professional services employers to reduce staff 35,000. The unemployment rate rose to 6.1% in September from 4.9% in January (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2008).
Kelso (1994), argues that over the last forty years there has been a change of the first companies in the American west and then south. Part of this change was due to the increase of the cold war and the government's decision to enlarge the U.S. military (Kelso, 1994). He argues that if U.S. has chosen to invest more in defense and aerospace industry, cities like Seattle and Los Angeles on the west coast started to flower, while the growth of high technology and information-based technology leads to a growing number of California and San Francisco Bay Area. Later, with the expansion of the network of highways and job growth markets are created in the south.
Iceland (2006) also argues that, although the services sector of the economy has created millions of jobs, but once again polarized income distribution based on the level of education among the poorest paid better paid jobs. He supports a Marxist analysis of class struggle and exploitation, and focuses on business owners in favor of hiring cheap labor to maximize benefit. This also explains the influx of cheap labor in the United States from Mexico and other countries. Better access to credit has put cars, computers, credit cards, and even homes within reach of many more working poor. But this radical transformation of the market of low-income consumers has a dark side. Roubini says: "Access to credit should be to help people with low income but becomes an opportunity for social advancement and economic, it becomes a debt trap for many trying to raise (the growth and Epstein, 2007).
Despite public assistance and efforts of those who gave so much federal and state governments, poverty still exists. policy analysis detailed situation is necessary and effective to solve the problem of poverty in the United States. Scholars such as rank (2004), White (2007) and others have shown that the U.S. government spends less money for poverty than any other industrialized country. Thus, a failure is a major structural political level (Rank, 2004). Most European countries provide a wide range of insurance programs, unemployment assistance, and universal health coverage, with significant support for child care (Rank, 2004). Those social programs are more generous than the U.S. (Rank 2004). Meanwhile, the low-income families in the United States to work more than other countries, are not yet able to compensate for income support government inferior to their European counterparts (Blank, 2007, 141-142).
Greater inequality among the poor in the U.S. along racial lines has led many researchers to speculate that institutional racism is largely responsible for Poverty in the United States. Discrimination race in employment and education contribute to increased poverty. Some researchers, such as Massey and Denton (1993) interpreted statistics in terms of institutional racism, while others such as Kelso (1994) to interpret the statistics as evidence of shortcomings and suffering Blacks. Despite efforts to eliminate racism, slavery and Jim Crow segregation, Massey and Denton (1993) argue that segregation Racial still exists and the root cause of poverty among African-Americans segregation. They argue that segregation has created and perpetuated a black underclass, which limits opportunities for education and employment. Massey and Denton (1993) showed that blacks were houses in racially mixed areas or areas adjacent to areas with predominantly black.
In addition, changing patterns of family formation are more pronounced among racial and ethnic groups. family patterns are also a cause poverty in the United States. There are large differences in wages. In 2004, the average of male workers was $ 40,798 FTYR, compared with $ 31,223 for women workers FTYR (Denavir-Walt et al, 2005), Pearce (1978) argues that "Poverty is a female problem. Iceland (2006) supports this request and to show that in 2000 the poverty rate for women (12.5%) was 26% higher than the poverty rate for males (9.9%) (Iceland, 2006). According to Icelandic women have fewer economic resources than men and are more likely to be single parents. It also leads to a greater likelihood that unmarried divorced or widowed are poorer than their male counterparts because of lower revenues from social security or retirement income, and no hope of life for women. lower wages for women, children, retirement benefits and the growing number of single mothers have led some commentators to speak of the feminization "Poverty."
Federal policies
After the Second World War in 1963, creating jobs by the policies of President John F. Fee Kennedy could not remove the problem of poverty. Poverty is still recognized as a problem national importance. President Lyndon B. Johnson 's war against poverty have led to a number of programs, including Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, Aid to Families with Dependent Children, and others. These rights to be consumed half the federal budget and could not fight against poverty. Economy U.S. has been devastated by the recession of 1979-83, when the production infrastructure Statess United was destroyed by the rate of the Reserve Federal interest has triggered the origin of the unemployment benefit up to seventy-five percent four years (Cook, 2007). In late 1980s the economy was in another recession, leading to the election of Bill Clinton, who in 1992 replaced the owner the George HW Bush. The investment boom of the 1990s was fueled by foreign capital attracted by the strong dollar policy of the Treasury. The jobs have been created as the dot.com bubble expanded, trade barriers have fallen, and industry giants like Enron left. NAFTA been adopted to promote free trade, welfare to work all low-income women in the labor market, and the Earned Income Tax Credit has been extended. The match ended when the bag crashed in December 2000 and millions of people lost their retirement savings and other investments. Recession again even as George W. President Bush stood by the U.S. Supreme Court in December 2000. The economic crisis worsened after September 11, 2001, when attacks by 1.4 trillion dollars of wealth have disappeared during the worst five trading days since the Great Depression (Cook, 2007). Cook (2007) argues that, today, poverty is becoming a national disaster. Cook (2007) argues that between 2002 and 2006, the economy has been proposed by the housing bubble with low-income people to enter their own home thanks to the proliferation of mortgage loans. With the financial problems in late 2008, many U.S. citizens find themselves with inflated property prices and no means to pay.
The policy initiatives of 1960 and the declaration of "unconditional war on poverty" by then-President Lyndon Johnson was a change discreet in the federal government to intervene to improve the economic status of poor Americans. Despite the thousands of millions of dollars spent programs such as CETA (General Law for Employment Training), Human Resources Development and Training Act, preschool and school Primary and secondary education, the government's efforts to address the causes of poverty have had minimal success. During this period, the application program Old-age Social Security provided virtually all retired workers of the risk of outliving their savings. The Social Security Act of 1935 sought to protect the revenue of those who did not work because of age or a poor economy by establishing a federal unemployment insurance, retirement benefits, and assistance to women. In early 1964, the two most urgent priorities of the President's agenda to fight poverty Johnson involved passing massive tax cuts to stimulate the economy and the organization of a working group to shape the "war against poverty." Economic Opportunity Act (EOA), signed by Johnson created a long list of programs designed to help people develop business skills, political power and civic literacy. However, this draft law against oversaw programs such as poverty Community Action Program, Job Corps, VISTA, Head Start (1965) Legal Services (1965) which were not included in your frame. If Although great programs like food stamps, Medicare for the elderly, Medicaid applied to qualified residents of poor primary and Secondary Education Act for poor students eclipsed the EOA. The Higher Education Act eased the financial burden millions of college students. The Civil Rights Act opened up new spaces on the U.S. market, while the Voting Rights Act does the same the political market. The Fair Housing Act established an important basis for the law against discrimination in the housing. Therefore, the EOA is less important. Again, Murray (1984) argues that social benefits have reached higher to live in poverty as an important option for the poor. Same Burton (1992) supported the point of view and argues that the programs have done more for the cause to reduce poverty.
When Nixon came to power tried to fight against poverty more directly to social programs emphasize. . Although President Nixon expressed distaste for much the war against poverty, the administration has responded to public pressure, most maintenance programs and expanding the welfare state through liberalization of the food stamp program, the indexing of Social Security to inflation, and approval of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for disabled Americans (Rank, 2004). The Nixon administration also approved a new "federalism" in which the federal government has changed companies more authority over welfare to the state and local governments. His plan for the implementation of the Family Assistance Plan (FAP) is comprised of various provisions of income, work organization and training for those below the poverty (Rank, 2004). He failed to pass the Senate as well as programs for quality jobs and initiated by President Carter, recent years on income from welfare. further reform as the center of debate over federal policies, even after the defeat Legislative FAP. Although negative cash income of a "tax" (NIT) for all poor people never had the program Food Stamp provides a national benefit in food stamps as amended by the size of the family, whatever their state of residence or modes of life or marital status. The number of AFDC recipients has increased by about 6 to 11,000,000 and the number of beneficiaries of coupons food, approximately one million to 19 million during the Nixon administration (Danziger, 1999, p. 8). Danziger (1999) also argues that the benefits cash and in kind are superior and made accessible to a larger percentage of poor, disincentives to work and budgetary costs of programs well-being increasingly challenged. The public and policy makers came to see welfare recipients has increased as evidence that programs subsidize dependence encouraging and idleness.
Despite the failure to adopt a program of guaranteed income, both the number of beneficiaries and the amount of money spent on welfare programs increased considerably during the 1970s (Rank, 2004). Rank (2004) has a overview of the policies of Reagan and said that Reagan emphasized individual action unhampered by government interference, rejected federalism social engineering in the 1960s and has supported, namely, return power to states rather than to centralize in the federal government. Reagan tried to solve the problem and set the tone for social reform that took place in 1990 during the administration of his successor. Administration Reagan believed eligibility for welfare benefits had increased so much that many people who were not "real benefits in need, "they have received. Reagan administration has been challenged by the simultaneous reception of wages and benefits. Instead, proposed become a social safety net, providing cash assistance only for those who can not find a job.
The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), enacted in 1975, offers the working poor families with a refundable tax credit (ie, the family receives a payment Internal Revenue Service, if the credit as income tax due). Thus, the EITC raises the effective wage of low-income families, is available for both two-parent families, and do not need to apply for welfare. The maximum EITC for a poor family is $ 400 in 1975 and increased to $ 550 in 1986 (Danziger, 1999, p. 14). The Tax Reform Act of 1986 has increased the EITC in 1990 to a low-income working the Parents receive a maximum credit of $ 953 (Danziger, 1999, p. 14). The number of families receiving funding increases between 5 and 7.5 million families per year between 1975 and 1986 to over 11 million in 1988 (Danziger 1999, p. 14). Danziger, 1999 argues that the extension EITC supplements low income, it became easier for policy makers to highlight the social reform policies that could put the recipients in all positions work instead of their training as "good jobs. Thus he argues that if a beneficiary does not take a job with low wages, a significant EITC could make work pay that much for a job with higher wages paid in the absence of an EITC.
The Family Support Act (FSA) in 1988 expanded the scope of the program AFDC for families with two parents created the child care and transitional Medicaid for recipients to leave welfare work, and the States added the necessary funds and to establish programs designed to move large numbers of recipients of employment assistance. When welfare jumped in the 1980s and early 1990s, about 11 to about 14 million beneficiaries, dissatisfaction with well-being increased again (Danziger, 1999).
President Nixon identified the two main economic problems, inflation and unemployment, which justifies the need for economic recovery for the American worker. Reagan emphasized the despair caused by the unemployment combined with high inflation. Reagan's rhetorical construction of welfare recipients and the welfare system was intended to reduce anxiety among Americans caused by higher taxes, the constant fear of inflation and job loss. For stop this victimization, Reagan proposed an economic stimulus plan (Rank, 2004). Besides the reduction of public expenditure devoted specifically social programs, Reagan also proposed to provide to governments to take over Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program and coupons food in exchange for control of the federal Medicaid. Although this proposal failed to reach the floor of Congress, presentation of the proposed amendment and AFDC Food Stamps Medicaid is a poverty of local concern (Mark Robert Rank, 2004).
Liberals and conservatives are not yet agreement on the objectives of other social assistance programs to work. The Liberals think welfare reform should expand opportunities for welfare mothers to receive training and work experience to help raise the level of their family life working on higher wages and better. The Conservatives have highlighted the demands of work, mothers obligations to the well-being in exchange for government support whether their family income has increased (Mead, 1992).
In recent years the emphasis President Clinton also stressed the empowerment as a way to help welfare recipients and to accumulate more savings, without penalty and give credit Earned Income (Blank, 2007). In the mid-1990s, the central concern of increased political fight against poverty in order to reduce dependence social aid. President Clinton signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation of 1996 (PRWORA) ended the right to cash assistance and dramatically changed the nature of the social safety net. The law created the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Program (TANF). TANF began on July 1, 1997, provides financial assistance indigent American families with dependent children by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (The Center for American Progress Task Force on Poverty, 2007). Danziger, 1999 said that the state could decide which e ach families to help them, subject only to the obligation to receive "a fair and equitable." By establishing a program of block grants, the PRWORA gives states the flexibility to design their own systems, provided that the states met a number of fundamental requirements of government Federal. The focus of the bill to end welfare as a right, it is a life limit of five years on benefits paid by federal funds, and also aims to encourage two-parent families and discouraging births outside marriage. By giving states wide latitude to design their own programs, some states have decided to impose additional conditions to the beneficiaries. Although the law set a deadline for benefits financed by federal funds does not exceed two years in a row and not more than five years throughout life, some States have adopted limits more stringent. All States, however, have allowed exceptions with the intent of not punishing children because their parents have passed the deadline. Federal requirements ensured a certain uniformity among states, but the block grant approach has led individual states to federal funding allocations to various ways. Some states actively promote education, others use the money to help fund the aid of private enterprises jobseekers. PRWORA offers no opportunity to work in exchange for welfare benefits when the beneficiary reaches its duration maximum life of 60 months of cash assistance for the federal government supports. But reform has certain limitations. The States can not use federal funds for block grants to provide more than a cumulative total life of 60 months of cash assistance recipients welfare, regardless of what might be willing to work for their benefits, and have the opportunity to set a shorter period. The States may grant exemptions from the edge of life and continue to use federal funds for a maximum of 20 per cent of the workload. The measure work expectations have also increased. single-parent recipients without children under one year are required to work at least 30 hours per week in fiscal 2002 to maintain eligibility for cash assistance (Danziger, 1999, p 20). States may require the participation in work or work related activities, regardless of the age of youngest child. PRWORA thus emerged from a research to to reduce poverty and dependence on welfare (Danziger, 1999). In the 1990s, after Clinton's call to "end welfare as we know, politicians' demands intensified their recipients to work and reduce government bonds and funds for the service (Danziger, 1999).
When Bush took office in 2001, the U.S. National experiencing a surplus, unemployment and poverty has declined for years, and the economy was booming. Today, almost six years later, poverty is increasing, the coverage health care is declining, and the country is facing the largest deficit in our national history. middle class families slowly slip below the poverty line and the poor are getting poorer. Most of these families are headed by women.
President Bush has extended the TANF. There was an initiative to stimulate overall economic policy during the Bush administration but not policy of the United States low income was enacted. President Bush signed the economic stimulus package (HR 5140) entitled, in the hope that it will give a much needed boost to the economy behind. The package includes tax cuts for individuals tax breaks for businesses, and a temporary increase in loan Federal Housing Administration $ 417,000 to $ 729.750 (Report of the White House, 2008). More than 130 million people are expected to get tax refunds ranging from $ 300 to $ 1200 per household for those earning $ 75,000 or less and couples earning up to $ 150,000 (compared to the White House, 2008). While the stimulus plan will provide financial assistance to millions of people who do not target the most needy and does not include an extension of benefits unemployment, using energy, Food Stamp benefits or tax relief to states for Medicaid.
From the above analysis, one may wonder if the poor are responsible for their own condition. The above analysis implies that the beneficiaries become dependent and lethargic because of measures of well-being huge. Scholars such as Murray (1984) and Kilty and Segal (2006) have focused on factors individual. They argue that measures of well-being and lack of spirit and motivation among the poor in poverty contribute. Danziger, 1999 states that during Nixon increased the measures of well-being encourages laziness. Kilty and Segal, 2006 also argues that the poor can go to a state of self-sufficiency dependence by proper work attitude and learning ability. Kilty and Segal, 2006 argue the importance of social reform and an approach of "tough love" in the final instance, help the poor by making them aware of their condition and make them take responsibility. Bill Clinton's emphasis on "personal responsibility" and measures to "end welfare as we all know, in 1992, supports the argument above.
Due to the implementation of TANF, the number of welfare have declined. Thus, funds are accumulated. In 1996, the number of beneficiaries of the ADC was 12,644,076, while in 2001 the number of TANF recipients was 5.91, 811 and the poverty rate also reduced from 13.7 to 11.3 (Kilty and Segal, 2006), while in 2008, is 1,628,422 (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Man). The proportion of single mothers on welfare (based on the administrative workload was divided by the number of inhabitants) has increased 38 per cent in 1969 to 48 per cent in 1980 but had fallen to 30 per cent in 1998 (Kilty and Segal, 2006). These changes are widespread number of cases, with all U.S. states experienced a significant drop in cases. This decline has been widely acknowledged by politicians as an indication that the policies to reduce dependence on welfare and move low-skilled adults in the labor market have been very effective (Blank, 2007). But White argues, however, that the decline on the well-being does not affect the poverty rate. The poverty rate in 2007 was 12.5 percent, a slight increase in its level of 12.3 percent in 2006. The rate of increase in poverty for four consecutive years from 2000-2004. In 2007, the poverty rate was 1.2 percentage points more than in 2000 (White, 2007).
welfare state initiatives
Most states have taken an important decision on reform, and this decision was sensible in light of the objectives of the State and experience. A few states do not seriously think the reform policies. In New York she was deeply divided did not take serious decisions AFDC (Mead, 2002). Alabama and Missouri were pushed into reform by the federal government and politics the welfare state seems little clean (Mead, 2002). In several other Southern states (Florida, North Carolina), the policy seems to be relaxed and personalized, with the governor or the legislature plans to offer the reform of research and apparently little evidence behind them (Mead, 2002). politics Texas was the incoherent state claims it continues to work first but based its policy on an experimental program focused far more on Education and Training (Mead, 2002). States has always supported the reform. But sometimes smaller contribution to these plans after a total failure of the program. Mead (2002) argues that, in Florida and Georgia, however, the government has been drawn into the reform, but has shown little commitment to it. In Arizona and California, the agency or large cities has been very committed to a competency-based welfare and resisted transition to the first work. In Texas, the reform of social assistance is a lower priority to administrators of programs for recovering welfare Employment and other initiatives. In Colorado and New Jersey, local agencies had a history of defiance of the state government, which prevented them from fully endorsing reforms adopted in the capital. Mead (2002) argues that, despite the creation of Jobcentre (ES), an agency receiving federal funds and training programs under the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA), the poverty rate did not improved. After their programs of social work adopted in 1967, the ES committed welfare practices. But because the routine does insist for job seekers who have come voluntarily, generally poor results with clients welfare (Mead, 2002). These job seekers reached it mandatory as a condition assistance. To succeed with them, the agency had done its work but also to support employment with special services. The ES often these two functions you do not (Mead, 2002). The ES indicates the role of entrepreneur and well-being later in 1988, the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) has merged the ES, JTPA, and other programs work not welfare. However, this merger has also created confusion. Problems are the lack of clear procedures for referring clients to WIA, to serve, or to report results on welfare. States that lack of coordination and inadequate systems of information management (MIS) are Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Washington, West Virginia, Florida, Tennessee and Georgia.
Colorado public sector reform has been associated with decreased rates of poverty. At the end of 2000, the unemployment rate Colorado fell to 2.6 percent, personal income showed a steady increase, if a state of well-being decreased spectacular, and the state legislators grappling with an estimated $ 833 million revenue surplus (Colorado Fiscal Policy Institute, 2001). But despite all the facts known poverty persists as the cost of childcare, out of pocket medical expenses, and geographical differences in housing costs have increased. The increases were recorded, even after adjusting for income support, such as credits tax, food stamps and school lunch programs, housing subsidies and using energy. A report published in 2001 by the Colorado Fiscal Policy has found that a single mother with two young children who live in the Denver County would have to earn annual salary of approximately $ 39.924 to meet basic needs such as housing, food, health care, child care and transportation, without public or private. Same child poverty rate is high in Colorado. Approximately 180,000 children, 15.7 percent of total state lived in poverty in Colorado in 2006, up 73 percent since 2000 (Frosch, 2008). Purchases of the State of Colorado to care for eligible low-income families through Colorado Child Care Assistance Program (ACABQ). The state allows counties to set the purchase price of child care and make payments providers a combination of fees from parents and federal, state and county funds. However, the Colorado Office of Resource and referral agencies (Run) in a 2001 study that the payment of the county average has fallen below 75 percent of market value (Colorado Fiscal Policy Institute, 2001, p. 9). Therefore required county providers to subsidize the cost of services to low-income families, many have was simply not prepared to do when limited slots could be filled with families who can pay full fare. Other vendors not simply chosen to reject service CCCAP families save money by limiting the number of children in CCCAP accept, programs reduction, or reduction of wages of workers. All these actions limited availability and quality sacrificed to the attention of children low income. Poverty still exists in Colorado, despite efforts to reduce poverty and too many families and professional life income below the poverty line and more families earn wages too low to cover their basic needs. The government has begun to Colorado Common Good Caucus in 2007 to develop a program for 2009, with an emphasis on education K-12 and determined to achieve in the laboratory and technology on the market for an investment of 4.5 million billion in the bioscience industry, the Fund's support for clean energy to reduce utility costs, high family, the creation of the Colorado Solar Incentive Program with $ 2 million to provide rebates for photovoltaic and solar thermal for help Colorado to join the new energy economy and reduce utility bills (State Rep. Andy Kerr, 2008). The poor can not pay the full the cost of heating and lighting their homes. Governments and social services have long helped low-income taxpayers to pay their bills through programs such as Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), fuel charitable funds leveled billing, rebates, weatherization home, energy efficiency, education, energy and debt management. If all U.S. households live in weather and energy efficiency and income to pay their full share of the accounts utilities, Other taxpayers would save about 6 billion cost of poverty, including fuel assistance, lifeline and assistance other cases, air conditioning and the efficiency costs, costs of delay and disconnection of service (Oppenheim and MacGregor, 2007).
Recommendations
From the above analysis shows that poverty remains widespread, because of the economic situation, social stratification and measures of well-being. According to Iceland (2003), on the one hand, economic growth and technological change contribute to rising wages and general living standards. Economic growth accompanied by higher levels of education condition improves people. On the other hand, the market economy often has a negative effect on levels of poverty (Iceland, 2003). To maximize profits, Business usually try to pay lower wages for workers increased inequality and poverty. Again, the policy may increase or reduce the harmful effects of inequality. The combination of factors identified by both the Liberals and conservatives, poverty has many facets. I think a great national effort to reduce poverty. employment opportunities for all, that workers and their families can avoid poverty, meet basic needs and saving for the future. Increase the hourly wage would certainly improve the condition of these people. A small percentage of unemployed low wages, unemployment insurance benefits. I think the states (with the help federal government) must reform "monetary eligibility" rules that prevent low-wage workers, broaden Eligibility for part-time workers and workers who have lost their jobs as a result of forcing the family situation. Workers should use this period of unemployment and the money received from the unemployment insurance system and improve their skills and qualifications. Thus adults should have the opportunity throughout their lives to connect to work, get more education, and live in a better neighborhood and get into the workforce.
using child care for low-income families and focusing on education K-12 undoubtedly reduce the poverty rate in the United States. low-income youth not go to college than their higher income. Pell Grants play a crucial role for low-income students. Simplifying the application process Pell Grant, and encourage institutions to do more to raise graduation rates students would certainly improve the situation. The expansion of Pell Grants would make higher education accessible to residents of each State. States, at the same time must also develop strategies to make postsecondary education affordable for all residents. Expansion knowledge of credit would encourage savings for education, homeownership, and retirement. As a result of all Americans have an asset that allows them to periods of volatility and resources that may be essential to upward economic mobility. Besides saving credit, the expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit would increase incomes and helps families build assets. Therefore, it should be possible for all, so that children grow up in conditions that maximize their chances of success.
