Advocates Higher Pay for Families
Los Angeles sociologist Dr. Paul Popenoe urged Texas Tech students to adopt a selective family wage. He argued against paying bachelors and married men the same, proposing a basic wage plus allowances of 20 percent for a wife and 25 percent per dependent child. He said the system would not spur childbearing, as the allowance would cover costs, while promoting equal standards of living for equal work. Continuous discussion noted.
