Irp Discussion Papers Evaluating Basic Needs to Determine Welfare Benefits

چکیده
The definition of economic well-being was evaluated for different household types in Wisconsin to recommend standards of need for Aid to Families with Dependent Children during 1985-87. Survey data for this purpose were obtained from the Wisconsin Basic Needs Study, in which the same households were interviewed five times and three two-week expenditure diaries were collected. The analysis compared respondents' subjective evaluations of minimum income needs to their objective economic circumstances. The subjective approach appeared to offer a promising alternative to the more costly collection of detailed expenditure information.
