This is a long episode that is a production and presentation from a conference presentation and a lecture. The paper was published in 2011 but then revised and updated by the Neoliberal Corporation and published in their Journal: Towards Developing a Journal of Caribbean Perspective. The Podcast is entitled: Redistributing Income to the Poor, Towards Sustaining Development: Social Assistance in Jamaica and the United States of America - The NeoLiberal. This paper is part of a thesis Written by Renaldo C. McKenzie in partial fulfillment of his Master of Philosophy in Liberal Arts at the University of Pennsylvania, published in 2011, updated with an extended conclusion April, 2022. This paper is published as part of a series of paper that will be presented as Jamaica celebrates sixty (60) years of Independence this year beginning August 6, 2022. VP Kamala Harris and the PM of Jamaica Andrew Holness met recently to discuss how the US can continue to support and strengthen Jamaica’s goals towards realizing their goals of sustainable development especially in the area of building their human capital. This paper examines how extensive and effective Jamaica’s, and the United States social security program is particularly, social policy on poverty reduction. We will explore the Program of Advancement through Health and Education (PATH) aimed at providing unemployment cash assistance to the poor and unemployed. This includes making comparisons with similar programs (TANF) in the United States. Uppermost in our consideration is the impact of neoliberal globalization on Jamaica’s and vulnerable people’s ability to provide welfare to its citizens and or to create a path towards sustainable development including poverty reduction and increased distributional equity. The episode is broken up into several segments: 1. Preface and Introduction, 2. Jamaica’s Social & Economic Context; 3. The D/Evolution of Social Assistance; 5. Redistribution Outcomes of PATH & TANF; 6. Conclusion: A. How Effective is PATG and TANF in targeting the poor? And B. The need for a workable and sustainable-sustainable development plan.
