BEYOND POVERTY, EXTENDED MEASURES OF WELL-BEING, P70-50RV
Goes beyond the usual measures of well-being (income and poverty, for example). In brochure format, the report concisely applies a number of perspectives to determine the well-being of three groups: the poor, the nonpoor, and persons whoparticipate in the Aid to Families With Dependent Children (AFDC) program.
These measures include the ownership or ability to use certain consumer goods (a washing machines, for example). The report also evaluates living conditions. These include not only ownership and the size of the home but any upkeep problems (such as exposed wiring) and neighborhood conditions, including concern for safety.
The report also notes the ability to meet various basic needs, including health and nutrition. It also specifies a variety of difficulties (eviction, for instance).
One composite table is designed to measure the number deprivations (telephone disconnected, for one) experienced. NOTE--This revised report replaces another of the same title, designated P70-50.
