Race, Urban Poverty, and Public Policy

Race and urban poverty is still an urgent task that the United States must solve. Over the past three decades, changes in the global economy, technology and ethnic relations have required new and innovative analytical and policy responses. One common thread woven into much of the research studied here is immigration dynamics. In "Disappearance of Work", immigrants provided comparative data to highlight the poverty of the black slums.

The policy significance of the collapse of the city's poverty is not substantial. First, the incidence of poverty in small towns and cities is much higher than that in metropolitan areas, so policies to tackle urban poverty should be formulated in a focused way. The general view of a calm country town seems to be idyllic compared to the surrounding area of ​​the big city, and the comprehensive poverty reduction strategy needs to concentrate on the rural areas and small to medium-sized towns. Second, the incidence of poverty in the metropolitan area is high outside the central city. The poverty level in the metropolitan area is not only more serious than a small town, but it also has to be attacked from its surroundings.

• The most extreme poverty in the United States is concentrated in certain geographical areas, including the protection of urban centers and indigenous Americans in major cities. These poverty-stricken areas are the result of decades of policies that limit the poor to economically remote areas. • Finally, I noticed serious ethnic differences in the distribution of wealth in the United States. The Caucasian family not only owns an asset 10 times as much as the net assets of a colored household, but also increased the asset by 20% between 1998 and 2001.
