The changing fortunes of American families in the 1980s
Bradbury, Katharine L. (1990-07)
After the recessions of 1980 and 1981-82, family income in the United States expanded through most of the 1980s. The decade brought gains in living standards to most families, but these gains were not distributed evenly; the rich grew richer but the poor grew poorer. This article examines shifts in the sources of family income and family work patterns between 1979 and 1988 in order to address the question: Why were the periods income gains so unevenly distributed? ; The first section describes the changes that occurred in the distribution of family income in the 1980s, and discusses some ...

From John Lindsay to Rudy Giuliani: the decline of the local safety net?
Kahn, Matthew E.; Glaeser, Edward L. (1999-09)
This paper was presented at the conference "Unequal incomes, unequal outcomes? Economic inequality and measures of well-being" as part of session 4, "Economic inequality and local public services." The conference was held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on May 7, 1999. The authors contend that the future scope of city-based redistributive policies is limited. An important way in which policymakers work to reduce inequality is by redistributing income from the wealthy to the poor, channeling income tax revenue into spending on welfare and other services. The authors suggest, ...
