Rural Poverty, Welfare Eligibility, Farm Programs, and the Negative Income Tax (original) (raw)

Review of Policy Research, 1988

Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper develops four models depicting types and causes of rural poverty in the United States. The recent farm financial crisis has exacerbated rural poverty problems, and many farmers who were not in poverty a few years ago are now in poverty. Policy options for dealing with rural poverty among those farmers who only recently became poor, as well as policy options for dealing with the persistently poor subsistence farmers, are discussed. Implications and options for dealing with poverty within the rural nonfarm sector are also stressed. Copyright 1988 by The Policy Studies Organization.
