Abstract

Large numbers of rural people, especially in areas where farms are small, do not receive adequate nutrition, medical care, or education. It is argued in this paper that a combination of technical assistance and income maintenance, as opposed to income maintenance alone, may be the most cost-effective way to help such people. A conceptual model for considering the tradeoffs between technical assistance and income maintenance is presented. Evidence from Appalachian Kentucky that technical assistance can be helpful is reported. Additional categories of information required to evaluate alternatives with the conceptual model are identified.
