Welfare and immigrants: restricting the eligibility of legal immigrants for welfare programs.

"The [U.S.] Congress and the Administration are currently proposing to revamp the nation's welfare system. As a result, increasing attention has focused on the participation of legal immigrants in welfare programs. Out of that scrutiny has come a debate about whether legal immigrants should be eligible for public assistance. Several members of Congress have offered proposals that would eliminate or at least seriously curtail the eligibility of legal immigrants for welfare benefits. This paper analyzes the participation rates of legal immigrants in major welfare programs as well as several such proposals."

Breaking the silence: setting realistic priorities for AIDS control in less-developed countries.

The AIDS pandemic is a human tragedy that is threatening development in the poorest countries. There is no cure or vaccine, but the tools to control the epidemic already exist. Nevertheless, there are few examples of national AIDS control programmes that have had an impact on the epidemic. We (an economist and a planner) attribute this to the reluctance of governments to confront AIDS and a failure to prioritise activities in the face of severe financial and administrative constraints. When implementation capacity is weak, expanding the number of activities may not improve programme effectiveness. Rather, by implementing a smaller, core set of the most cost-effective activities on a national scale, policymakers could have a huge effect on the overall epidemic in a sustained way and provide a foundation for expansion. We propose three core priorities for AIDS control in poor countries for prevention, treatment, and mitigation of the impact.
