Poverty Ain’t What it Used to Be:
The Case for and Consequences of Redefining Poverty
Neal Fogg, Andrew Sum, Garth Magnum, Neeta
Fog, Sheila Palma
This book analyzes the deterioration in purchasing power of the
official poverty line since 1964. For low income families this deterioration
has resulted in a consistent decline in the standard of living.
The book examines alternatives methods to set the official poverty
line that will maintain constant differences between low income
and middle to high income families over time. The authors also include
the practical and policy implications for each method and demonstrate
the impacts on employment and training programs targeting low income
families.
