- Summary:
-
This analysis of the implications for children of the FY 1987 Federal budget begins by criticizing the Reagan administration's policy on poor children and families and recommending needed action. Chapter 1 provides a rationale for investing in children and families. Specific attention is given to costs of child poverty, declining Federal help for children in poverty, President Reagan's FY 1987 budget, and the impact of the Gramm-Rudman Amendment. Chapters 2 and 3 outline a Children's Survival Bill and a new policy agenda designed to prevent teen pregnancy and to build self-sufficient youth. Chapter 4 explores aspects of the Gramm-Rudman Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985. Chapter 5 offers an executive summary of the remaining 15 chapters which concern health; family income; taxes and poor families; food assistance; housing and homelessness; preventing adolescent pregnancy and building youth self-sufficiency; education; youth employment; abused and neglected children and others with special needs; runaway youth and others in the juvenile justice system; child care; Head Start; energy assistance for families; legal services; and civil rights. Appended are related information about Congress, selected recent publications on the budget and the effects of President Reagan's policies, a list of other resource organizations, and approximately 40 pages of data on children, poverty, and federal programs.
