Abstract

This paper documents the fact that the concentration of poverty in the inner city of Chicago declined appreciably during the 1990s. Exploratory data analysis suggests that the decline in family poverty is strongly associated with an increase in the employment of females who reside in those areas. The decade of the 1990s is notable for its strong economy, the large expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit and dramatic change in the public assistance programme.
