 Federal Expenditures
on Children: 1960-1997
This paper provides the
most comprehensive examination ever made of trends in federal
spending, including tax subsidies, on children. The summary below
assesses changes in real spending (in 1997 dollars) between 1960
and 1997. Some 66 federal programs are classified within eight
major budget categories: tax credits and exemptions (including the
Earned Income Tax Credit and the dependent exemption), income
security (including Aid to Families with Dependent Children),
nutrition (including Food Stamps), health (including Medicaid),
education, housing, social services, and training. Children are
defined as individuals 18 years of age or younger.
