This literature review focuses on the stresses families experience and the support factors needed to help them cope with their handicapped children. Stress often appears to increase with the age of the handicapped child, and it is also based on the daily care-giving demands of the child. Other general factors affecting stress are low family income, divorce, separation, and so forth. The father often plays a limited role in these families even when present. Both formal and informal social support networks are important to these families, often more so than professional support, which has been uneven. Families need to be treated as having individual needs that require individual solutions, even as their handicapped children. Investigators and practitioners are encouraged to continue their focus on the family as a legitimate unit of study and treatment.

In this article, a method is developed to evaluate the effects of wife's income on family income inequality, and those effects are examined between 1967 and 1976 employing data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. The coefficient of variation is employed as a measure of family income inequality. Results indicate that income inequality increased substantially between 1967 and 1976 for U.S. families, but this increase was not due to the effects of wife's income. There have been substantial differences in the effects of wife's income for black and white families. In general, a movement toward greater equality of earnings between husbands and wives would tend to promote less family income inequality.
