Abstract
Using the 2008 Family Income and Expenditure Survey, this article examines resource allocation among families with children in Taiwan, with attention to poverty and family structure. The findings illustrated that families with poverty-level incomes faced more disadvantages than high-income families. Families in poverty allocated significantly more of their income to food and less to health. In addition, compared to nuclear families, grandparent-only families spent less on education, and extended families allocated more of their resources to food and health and less to education. Policy implications are discussed.
