Australian Poverty: Then and Now
Bu e-kitab haqqında
Twenty-two years later, the authors of Australian Poverty: Then and Now provide a telling comparison between the findings of Henderson's Commission and the present day.
The theme of the chapters in the book rests mainly on a description of Henderson's findings and recommendations in 1975, and the changes, achievements, failings and general comparative conditions today.
The volume explains the task of assessing the level of poverty in a country which remains lucky for some but not for others.
