Cash Grants for Earned Income: An Analysis of Three Hypothetical Approaches
[ send me this paper ]
A 2 page analysis of earned income strategies designed to aid working women in Hawaii. Outlines Hawaii's current approach and compares that approach to two hypothetical approaches. Each involves a cash grant for earned income but the budget constraints for each differ both in the maximum work hours allowed without taxation and in the rate of taxation. Concludes that the second hypothetical approach is superior as it rewards women who work a minimum or one-hundred hours per month with an increased cash grant. The other two approaches actually penalize women who work over forty hours per month by requiring that the cash grant be taxed away. No sources are listed.
