Abstract: Our main objective is to give demographic perspective to changes since 1960 in the

comparative economic circumstances of nonmetropolitan and metropolitan children. Specifically, we examine absolute and relative poverty

rates using child records from the 1960, 1970, and

1980 Public Use Microdata Samples and from the

1990 March annual demographic file of the Current Population Survey. Results reveal that more

than one-in-five nonmetropolitan children today

are poor, an increasing proportion are deeply impoverished, and a growing share are living in
Poverty In Rural America

families with incomes lagging standards typical of

the average American family. Changes in family

structure accounted for roughly 60 percent of the

increase in nonmetropolitan child poverty during

the 1980s. Positive economic effects associated

with increasing female employment, rising education levels, and declining family size in nonmetropolitan areas were more than offset by the

deleterious effects of changing family structure.

And the persistently higher rates of nonmetropolitan than metropolitan child poverty cannot be explained away by compositional

differences in parental employment patterns, educational levels, or family size. Our results suggest

that recent changes in family formation and structure cannot be disassociated from the changing

economic welfare of children, especially for those

living in nonmetropolitan Annerica.

Abstract: We examine the poverty levels of two distinct groups of women who live alone: those under

65 years of age and those 65 and over. On the

average, 30 percent of the elderly women who live

alone and 21. percent of the younger women are in

poverty. Multivariate analyses of poverty rates

based on data from the 1980 census indicate that

lack of participation in the labor force, lower levels

of education, and being under 20 or over 50 years

of age explain much of the variance for younger

women. For elderly women, the most important

variables were whether they had only social security income, had less education, and were nonwhite. In both age groups, women in small towns

or rural areas were more likely to be in poverty

than those in central cities or suburbs when all

other variables were controlled.

two recent perspectives on rural economic organization and their implications for poverty. Building

from (1) agrarian political economy and (2) the

rural restructuring literatures, we present a comparative regional analysis of how farming patterns

and other aspects of economic organization differentially affect poverty in rural areas. Data are

based on 2,349 nonmetropolitan U.S. counties for

the 1970-1980 period. Nonhired labor-dependent,

family-operated farming (smaller and larger family farming) has relatively similar cross-regional

effects on rural poverty. The effects of industrialized farming are more spatially variant, suggesting that this type of farming is integrated into

regional political economies in different ways than

are simple commodity units. However, farming

patterns have only a small effect on rural poverty

relative to other factors, such as the local employment structure, characteristics of the population,

and geographic location. The results of this study

highlight the need to move beyond the farm sector

to understand both the dynamics of this sector

and the socioeconomic consequences of rural restructuring. More broadly, the study underscores

the importance of testing general sociological relationships under different spatial (e.g., regional)

contexts.

Abstract: A project, carried out to develop an instore nutrition education campaign in 5 food vendor sites to educate limited-income food shoppers

and to assess the effectiveness of such a carnpaign,

is reported. The nutrition education learning

modules included: what are food groups?; rnilk

group; protein group; fruit and vegetable group;

bread and cereal group, and other foods. After

completion of the project, the experimental group

(400 participants) had a nutrition awareness level

74% or more above the control group (400

matched participants) except for the last (other

foods) module. The pretest scores of the 2 groups

were similar. The experimental group had a slightly

greater degree of continued learning for 7 of 8

nutrition knowledge questions. The study indicated

that point-of-purchase nutrition education increased shoppers' nutrition awareness while only

marginally influencing nutrition knowledge. (wz)

Abstract: By examining the 1979 income status of

1975-1980 inmigrants, outmigrants, and nonmigrants, we gauged the income effects of migration for a group of chronic low-income counties in

the nonmetropolitan South. The effects are demonstrated to be positive for the migrants themselves and negative for the low-income counties. In

both instances, however, the effects are unexpectedly small. By considering both in- and outmigrants, we show that these counties experienced

a remarkable degree of income replacement and

also present evidence that the results are not

primarily due to the particular migration period

under study. The findings give additional evidence

of the substantial inefficiency at work in American

migration patterns.

Abstract: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (cf. Crispell, 1990), the medical clerical field is

one of the faster growing areas of employment.

This paper reports on long-term employment of

trainees involved in nontraditional medical clerical

programs. These programs were funded by the Job

Training Partnership Act (JTPA) and filled both

the needs of the local rural health care facilities

and the employment needs of unskilled youths and

adults. These nontraditional students of low socioeconomic background and poor work history

were successfully mainstreamed into university

courses and consequently obtained productive employment. A follow-up study was conducted of 64

individuals who completed three different, oneyear JTPA programs. The study investigated the

following questions: Was the trainee currently

employed? If so, was employment related to the

training program, and were the quarterly salaries

higher than minimum wage and previous salaries?

How many different jobs were reported since training? Did the individual retain employment in a

rural setting? The JTPA programs at Southern Illinois University included some innovative yet

practical components that resulted in very high

program completion rates, high initial placement,

and a continuing pattern of long-term employment.

These components included: emphasis on training

for the most needed positions/jobs that matched

university capabilities; the pursuit of higher starting

salaries; informing participants of support services;

training in job hunting and work readiness; using

some individualized, competency-based instruction; establishing internship arrangements with

prospective employers; and careful matching of the

trainee to initial placement site with consideration

of personality as well as skills.

Abstract: Despite a high prevalence of poverty

among minorities in nonmetropolitan areas, research and policy concerns regarding poverty have

continued focusing on metropolitan minorities.

This study uses a model integrating individual,

household, and structural factors to examine

poverty among Latinos, blacks, and Anglos in nonmetropolitan and, for comparative purposes,

metropolitan areas, using data from the 1985 Special Texas Census TDHS 1987. The findings show

that minorities in nonmetropolitan areas tend to

have the highest poverty rates. In addition, consistant as well as divergent patterns exist among the

six ethnic-resident groups with respect to the relationships among the various individual household,

and structural factors and poverty.

Abstract: This paper traces the economic status of

nonmetropolitan (nonmetro) black, Mexican and

American Indian families during the period 1959

to 1986. Analysis of 1960, 1970,1980, and L987 U.S.

Census Bureau data revealed substantial improvement in the economic status of rural minority

families between 1959 and 1979, in relative terms,

considerably more than that enjoyed by their urban

counterparts or rural whites. However, nonmetro

black and Mexican family incomes deteriorated

substantially in the ensuing seven years. The shift

in residence toward urban areas contributed to the

1959-1979 decline in minority poverty, although

American Indians benefited considerably more

than blacks or Mexicans from this mechanism.

Furthermore, labor market commitment has a

greater ameliorative effect on family poverty for all

groups than does public assistance. That poverty

among nonmetro minorities improved in response

to increasing labor supply is a policy-relevant finding discussed in the conclusions.

Abstract: The nutritional status of 191 rural, lowincome subjects from the Porterville-Woodville

area of Tulare County, California, was surveyed in

1969 at the request of, and in collaboration with,

the medical staff of Salud Medical Clinic, Woodville, California. For comparative purposes, 28

middle-income children from the city of Visalia

were also studied. The results indicate that dietary

intake was adequate for most nutrients, with the

exception of iron. However, a high incidence of

microcytosis and low or deficient serum folate

levels was observed along with a high prevalence

of short stature. Evidence suggestive of organophosphate pesticide exposure was found in the low

plasma cholinesterase activity of a number of

children. The levels of DDT and DDE in serum

were also found to be respectively twice and three

times the mean values reported for non-exposed

adult males.

Abstract: Homelessness in rural America is a problem hardly recognized, little understood, and only

minimally studied by rural sociologists. This article,

based on long-term field research in upstate New

York, sets the problem of rural homelessness in

context, explains the increase in rural poverty that

puts more people at risk of homelessness, and examines some trends in rural housing that reduce

the ability of poorer residents to secure adequate

shelter. The nature of housing insecurity and the

strategies poor rural people use to keep themselves

lrorn becoming literally homeless are noted. InterR88

and

views and questionnaires conducted among

insecurely-housed low-income people and interviews and records supplied by agencies and

institutions serving the poor provide the information on which arguments are based. The conclusion is that the definition of homelessness should

be broadened for rural usage to encompass poor

people on the edge of or at high risk of homelessness; also, programs to assist the homeless and

prevent homelessness must be appropriate for

rural situations.

Abstract: Compared to their urban counterparts,

the rural poor are more likely to be employed,

more apt to be members of married-couple

families, less likely to be children, less likely to be

minority, and more likely to have assets but a negative income. This paper examines poverty rates and

factors that affect mobility in and out of poverty

among major categories of the rural poor. Particular attention is paid to farm workers and the rural

farm population in the South. It endeavors to identify both structural conditions that perpetuate rural

poverty and government interventions that

ameliorate human suffering and break the cycle of

poverty reproduction.

35 percent had incomes below the poverty threshold in 1979. Poverty is particularly prevalent arnong

black families in the nonmetro South with a fernale

Abstract: Individual and structural explanations for

poverty have been applied in studies of the poverty

status of particular individuals. In this paper, we

examine how individual characteristics and the employment opportunity structure vary for femaleheaded households in nonmetropolitan areas,

central city areas, and metropolitan areas that are

not central city areas. Using data from the 1980

Census of Population and Housing, we find that

individual household characteristics do differ by

residence, but that there is generally no difference

by residence in the characteristics that influence

poverty status. Employed nonmetro female heads

of households are more likely to report poverty incomes, and the relatively low contribution of wages

in raising nonmetro households above the poverty

level suggests that the opportunity structure for

female-headed households varies by residence and

is poorer for nonmetro residents.

Abstroct: Debates about the accessibility, costs, and

coverages of health care for the population at large

have recently accelerated. This paper addresses

some of the demographic, health, and fiscal

ramifications of creating a preventive health care

bridge to children in uninsured and underinsured

farnilies in two rural Wisconsin counties. The study

findings revealed that the initial health status of

children making a preventive health visit under a

rninimal copayment plan was noticeably worse than

the status of those who had the free Early and

Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment

(EPSDT) program available to them on a more or

less continual basis. Upon their first visit, the

children who did not have access to a free EPSDT

program had a greater number of medical and

dental health problems and fewer preventive dental care visits than their EPSDT contemporaries.

Beyond a greater number of problems, however,

we found no noticeable differences between the

two groups in the types of health problems present

(i.e. the clinical distribution of the problems was

sirnilar across the two groups). This paper also

contrasts referral completion rates and rates of diagnostic confirmation of identified problems between the two groups. Finally, we provide

estirnates of the cost of coverage for each unprotected child.

Abstract: Although explanations of differentials in

the incidence and prevalence of poverty have been

discussed in terms of structural characteristics, the

traditional conceptualization and measurement of

poverty has focused on economic conditions of individuals. Using Blau's (1974, 1977) general macrosociological model as an analytic framework, this

paper shifts the focus away from characteristics of

individuals to a structural level. Viewed as a latent

construct, the concept of poverty is operationalized

using data from rural areas of the United States.

Findings frorn the confirmatory factor model (in

LISREL) indicate that when there is explicit

recognition of correlations within the error matrix,

the conceptual model conforms to the data ex28
Poverty In

tremely well. The paper suggests that while there

will always be a need for programs geared toward

the plight of individuals in poverty, within the

framework of rural development, the community

is perhaps the more relevant level for long-range

solutions.

Abstract: The Summer Food Service Program for

Children was created for children who, because of

poverty or working parents unable to stay at home

to fix meals, have no way of receiving nutritious

meals during the summer. Sponsors are reimbursed for meals and snacks as well as for a certain

amount to cover operating and adrninistrative

costs; rural sponsors and those preparing their own

meals receive a higher reimbursement rate than

sponsors contracting with food managernent. services. Programs operate from facilities demonstrating capability to serve wholesome meals and snacks

to children in needy areas, e.g., schools, churches,

playgrounds, and parks. The Slash Pine Community Action Program, in southeast Georgia, is used

as an example of such a summer program.

Abstruct: Extract: Overall employment growth in a

rural area will probably not benefit all households

or residents in that area. In a nine-county area of

south-central Kentucky, rapid employment growth

between 1914 and 1979 did create new job opportunities. However, only 18 percent of the

households had members who took advantage of

new jobs. The employment growth also did not

reduce the area's overall poverty level. About as

many households fell into poverty as left the

poverty ranks during the study period. Some population groups, such as households headed by

women, remained economically disadvantaged

despite the area's growth. Other groups, such as

the elderly, maintained their income status by

relying on public and private income transfer programs.
