Abstract

This subject is presented in two parts. The first article focuses on inadequacies of the present welfare system for aiding poor persons in rural areas. The second article reviews current legislative proposals for welfare reform, indicating the extent to which they might ease rural problems. Welfare reform, or the basic overhaul of the welfare system, has been a major policy issue for at least the past 10 years. Nonmetropolitan areas have an important stake in these welfare reform debates. Welfare payments are becoming a greater proportion of total personal income in nonmetropolitan areas where a substantial number of welfare recipients live.
