Social Services: The Problem of Accountability

Abstract

The insistence by Congress and the administration on more accountability in the social service programs highlights the difficulties of monitoring and evaluating program performance. The separation of financial aid and services exacerbates the problem of accountability, because services must now be justified on their own merits rather than as a means of reducing dependency on assistance. Dilemmas in achieving a better system are considered.
