Description

A systematic analysis of all federal cash and in-kind assistance programs for the elderly. Outlines economic and social reasons for different modes of assistance and analyzes these programs by objectives and performance. Identifies inconsistencies and imbalances in the program mix including the trend towards increased services rather than cash grants, government incentives which inadvertently prevent individuals from providing for their later years, and how the social security earnings penalty limits the contribution of the elderly.
