520 $aIn "Poor Kids in a Rich Country", Lee Rainwater and Timothy Smeeding ask what it means to be poor in a prosperous nation. In comparing the situation of American children in low-income families with their counterparts in fourteen other countries -- including Western Europe, Australia, and Canada -- they provide a powerful perspective on the dynamics of child poverty in the United States. Based on the rich data available from the transnational Luxembourg Income Study (LIS), "Poor Kids in a Rich Country" puts child poverty in the United States in an international context. Rainwater and Smeeding find that while the child poverty rate in most countries has been relatively stable over the past 30 years, child poverty has increased markedly in the United States and Britain -- two of the world's wealthiest countries. The book delves into the underlying reasons for this difference, examining the mix of earnings and government transfers, such as child allowances, sickness and maternity benefits, unemployment insurance, and other social assistance programs that go into the income packages available to both single- and dual-parent families in each country. -- From product description.
