This revised edition examines the experiences and hardships of today's poor workers, and analyzes how government policies can best relieve deprivation and encourage work. The book also assesses the impact of unemployment, technological development, immigration and international trade.
Review:
"Levitan and Shapiro know how to pick and choose among a wide variety of policy instruments to match programs to needs. Moreover, by focusing on aid to the working poor, the authors areable to address successfully the charge that welfare inhibits work." -- Policy Studies Journal
"This book will join the select few that stand as classics in the field of social welfare." -- Labor Studies Journal
