Economic Welfare

Famous quotes containing the words economic and/or welfare:

“The American suffrage movement has been, until very recently, altogether a parlor affair, absolutely detached from the economic needs of the people.”

“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
