Sociology 498: Homelessness
|
"The number of working age adults with extremely low incomes rose from 3.6 million in 1980 to 5.6 million in 1990 -- a huge increase.
"The fraction of this group living with relative only fell from 58 percent to 55 percent. As a result the fraction of all families sheltering such a relative rose substantially."
Christopher Jencks, The Homeless, chapter 7, page 79.
