Government Support for Families with Children in the United States and France
比较美法两国儿童贫困率差异，分析其家庭支持项目在支出和内容上的不同，法国提供普惠性托幼、医保和现金支持，美国仅防止失业家庭陷入赤贫。
Child poverty is much lower in France than in the United States, although both countries have a similar proportion of births to unmarried mothers, and minority populations of comparable size. The differing poverty rates reflect differences in their programs of support for families with children, both in the amounts spent and in the contents of their programs. French program elements include government provision of child care, health insurance and cash support, most with no means testing. The U.S. program only tries to keep jobless families from destitution; the French program aims higher.
