我们研究了过去二十年来美国就业、收入和收入的趋势,以及安全网如何应对不断变化的命运,包括因COVID - 19大流行而导致的经济停摆。美国的社会安全网由不同的项目拼凑而成,提供实物和现金福利,在大流行之前存在许多漏洞。此外,很少有方案被明确设计为自动稳定器。我们的研究表明,针对COVID - 19大流行期间就业损失的安全网应对措施主要只是增加了失业保险和粮食援助计划的支持,与经济衰退的严重程度相比,这是一种不充分的应对措施。我们讨论了改革美国社会救助的方案,以便在经济衰退时期提供更强劲的收入底线。
We examine trends in employment, earnings and incomes over the last two decades in the United States, and how the safety net has responded to changing fortunes, including the shutdown of the economy in response to the COVID‐19 pandemic. The US safety net is a patchwork of different programmes providing in‐kind as well as cash benefits, and it had many holes prior to the pandemic. In addition, few of the programmes are designed explicitly as automatic stabilisers. We show that the safety net response to employment losses in the COVID‐19 pandemic largely consists only of increased support from unemployment insurance and food assistance programmes, an inadequate response compared with the magnitude of the downturn. We discuss options to reform social assistance in the United States to provide more robust income floors in times of economic downturns.
