Jantii, Markus, and Sheldon H. Danziger. 1992. "Work, Welfare and Child Poverty in Sweden and the U.S." PSC Research Report No. 92-266. November 1992.
This paper estimates a three-equation model of child poverty in Sweden and the U.S. using data from the Luxembourg Income Study. Market income poverty rates are found to be broadly similar, controlling for the characteristics of the children's parents. However, children who are market-income poor face very different welfare states in the two countries, and, as a result, disposable income poverty rates in Sweden are much lower than in the U.S. It is also found that the proportion of all children who are not poor based on their parents' market income, but are taken into poverty by taxes, is higher in the U.S. than in Sweden.
