Inequality among Children and Elderly in Ten Modern Nations: The United States in an International Context
比较美国与九个其他现代工业化国家中儿童和老年人的经济地位，发现不同国家对依赖群体不平等的容忍度存在差异。
All modern countries are concerned about poverty and inequality amid their populations in general, and with that among their major dependent groups: children and elderly, in particular. The purpose of this paper is to consider the relative economic position of U.S. children and elderly as compared to identical dependent groups in nine other modem industrialized countries. In so doing, we find that some countries are willing to tolerate more inequality among dependents than are other countries.
