Parents
dethroned

NEW YORK  (AP)-
Parents have been
“dethroned” and no longer
control their children’s
development, a Carnegie
Corp. research team con-
cluded after a five-year
study of the way children
grow up in the United
States,

The Carnegie Council on
Children, in a report made
public Saturday, urged
sweeping changes in
domestic policy the put
parents back in control,
including a full employment
economy and a credit in-
come-tax system to
redistribute personal in-
come.

“Most American parents
are competing on unequal
terms with institutions on
which they must depend or
which have taken over their
traditional functions,” the
study says.

“We have been using a
faulty lens for locking at
children,’’ said Dr. Kenneth

Keniston, a psychologist
who headed the study.
“What we have been tyring
to do with our programs for
children is to patch up in-
dividuals who are damaged,
without doing anything
about the forces that are
damaging thern.’’

The study, All Our

The American Family
Under Pressure, recom-
mends returning control to
parents by assuring them
influence, employment and
a minimum income of about
$7,000 a year.

“The goal is to make it
possible for parents to make
the choices,” Keniston said
in an interview Saturday.
“Public policy should be
neutral, It shouldn’t, for
instance, encourage a
mother to work. But it
should make it possible for
her to choose.’’

A group from the council
will meet with Joseph
Califano, health, education
and welfare secretary,
White House staff, and a
group of House of
Representatives members
in two weeks to discuss their
findings, he said.

The .study recommends
reduction of unemployment
for heads of households to no
more than 10 percent; more
vigorous action to protect
minorities against em-
ployment discrimination;
flexible working schedules
and expanded pregnancy
leave,

A key recommendation is
a guaranteed minimum
income to all familes with
children, Keniston said. The
goal is that no four-member
family would have an in-
come of less than about
$7,000 a year.

The Carnegie. group urges
a system of direct income
supports to supplement low
wages and to give single
parents the option of caring
for their young children full
tiem if they want.

As an example, they
proposed a credit income
tax to redistribute income
from those in the upper
quarter of the income
brackets to those near the
bottom.

“By and large the
children who do poorly come
from. economically and
socially deprived
backgrounds. But the
deficit is not in their
parents, it’s in the society
that. puts them In
deprivation,” Keniston said.
