英文文献：Social Policy Role Of Food Assistance Programs
英文文献作者：Storey, James R.
英文文献摘要：
In fiscal 1977, the Federal Government will spend $9.2 billion on food stamps and child nutrition programs.These benefits represent the bulk of Government's direct efforts to improve nutrition. But viewed more generally, these programs are only a few among many federal mechanisms for transferring income from one group of people to another to improve the recipients I financial status. Food programs account for only 5 percent of all such transfer payments, but food assistance constitutes a higher proportion of benefits (24 percent) directed to low-income groups. Thus, food assistance is a very important element in federal income support.
