The plan would lead to major growth in welfare benefits and costs across all areas, particularly in the Southern region, where the benefits would be most substantial and would result in reduced state differences in welfare benefit levels. The author highlights key concerns such as work incentives for the poor, which are most likely to be affected in the Southern region, where potential earnings are low. The book draws attention to the fact that, despite efforts to reduce such differences, interstate migration decisions of the poor are unlikely to be significantly affected by welfare benefit levels. The author concludes that the plan, while increasing welfare benefits, may also impact work incentives in certain regions, particularly in low-income areas where the availability of low-skill work is limited.
