Abstract

ANY PERIOD of widespread, prolonged unemployment raises the specter of possible family disorganization and even disintegration. The Great Depression of the 1930's led to a number of studies of family reactions to unemployment and lowered income. These studies can lay the foundation for current studies and even for current methods of alleviation, with some consideration for the differences between the 1930's and the late 1950's.
