SNAP Matters: How Food Stamps Affect Health and Well-Being: Studies in Social Inequality

Editat de Judith Bartfeld, Craig Gundersen, Timothy Smeeding, James Ziliak
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 noi 2015
In 1963, President Kennedy proposed making permanent a small pilot project called the Food Stamp Program (FSP). By 2013, the program's fiftieth year, more than one in seven Americans received benefits at a cost of nearly $80 billion. Renamed the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in 2008, it currently faces sharp political pressure, but the social science research necessary to guide policy is still nascent.

In SNAP Matters, Judith Bartfeld, Craig Gundersen, Timothy M. Smeeding, and James P. Ziliak bring together top scholars to begin asking and answering the questions that matter. For example, what are the antipoverty effects of SNAP? Does SNAP cause obesity? Or does it improve nutrition and health more broadly? To what extent does SNAP work in tandem with other programs, such as school breakfast and lunch? Overall, the volume concludes that SNAP is highly responsive to macroeconomic pressures and is one of the most effective antipoverty programs in the safety net, but the volume also encourages policymakers, students, and researchers to continue examining this major pillar of social assistance in America.

Recenzii

"SNAP (formerly the Food Stamp Program) is unique among American social programs in being available to anyone in need. However, despite its size and scope, we have known remarkably little about its effectiveness. This timely volume brings attention to recent research showing the program's effectiveness in promoting health, particularly among infants and children. As such, it provides vital input to the national debate over the future of SNAP."—Janet Currie, Henry Putnam Professor of Economics and Policy Affairs, Princeton University

"The vast literature on the associations between poverty and child development neglects the role of the SNAP program in helping low-income children reach their full potential. This important volume summarizes the best available evidence and sparks a new research agenda on this critically important tool for fighting child poverty."—Ariel Kalil, Professor of Public Policy, Harris School of Public Policy Studies, University of Chicago

"This volume, edited and written by some of the top safety net researchers, is a treasure because it contains between two covers everything you could want to know about the vital food stamp program. Such an important and versatile program deserves an excellent volume of information and analysis. Now it has one."—Ron Haskins, Brookings Institution

"An outstanding synthesis of the research on the SNAP program. This is required reading for anyone interested in gaining a thorough understanding of SNAP and its participants; factors related to its growth; and its impact on poverty, health and nutrition, food insecurity, obesity, and much more."—Robert Greenstein, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
