work-welfare programs  

Definition

  • FOR NEARLY 60 YEARS, the United States provided its low-income families with cash aid, albeit in limited amounts insufficient to lift them out of poverty. In order to qualify for aid, parents merely had to pass an income means test. [Source: Encyclopedia of World Poverty; Work-Welfare Programs]
