The welfare system

Article Abstract:

The US welfare system is a diverse group of different government assistance programs, eligibility for which is determined by the level of need. In fiscal 1990, government spending on welfare programs amounted to $210 billion of which federal and state governments contributed $152 and $58 billion, respectively. About $149.1 billion were spent on "in-kind assistance' such as Medicaid, student assistance and food subsidies. Cash-assistance programs which include Earned Income Tax Credit, Aid to Families with Dependent Children and Supplemental Security Income cost about $55.1 billion.

Article Abstract:

Administrative policies aimed at relieving workers of work-family problems can be beneficial to American society. The US can adopt Sweden's policy of granting working parents with long periods of paid leave, shorter working hours and parental insurance. The government may also give tax incentives to developers, encouraging them to construct houses near places of work. Furthermore, the administration may impress upon corporations that pro-family programs are less expensive than they think. It is in implementing such policies that the working class may thrive.

Article Abstract:

Pro-family government policies are effective only for maintaining motivation among workers. They cannot guarantee successful child-parent relationships. Nothing compares to spending quality time with the children. As long as the determination to make more money and advance in the workplace takes precedence over better parent-child relationship, no policies can truly enhance family life.
