This book offers a comprehensive and comparative analysis of social
welfare policy in an international context, with a particular
emphasis on the US and Canada. The authors investigate the claim
that a decentralized delivery of government supported goods and
services enables policy objectives to be achieved in a more
innovative, efficient and cheaper way. They also examine the
effectiveness of the voucher system as a solution to problematic
welfare concerns.
The voucher system which includes all forms of government subsidy,
whether in the form of tax deductions, credits or means-tested
consumer entitlements, places the resources directly into the hands
of citizens and allows them, rather than a government agent, to
determine which goods they will consume from competing private
suppliers. While this system has shown much promise in improving
welfare, there have been problems for institutions unable to
attract enough voucher-assisted consumers to ensure their survival.
In this context the authors examine major social programs such as
food stamps, low-income housing, legal aid, health care, early
childhood education, primary and secondary education,
post-secondary education and job training and other active labor
market policies. This book will be of interest to students of
comparative politics, social policy and economics.
