- Abstract
The article discusses the primary objective of the workmen's disability income system in the U.S. which is to provide a back up of the source of family income in cases where earnings are interrupted because of the employee's disability. The workmen's compensation is a program which offers benefits such as cash or medical care to victims of work-connected injuries. The injured employee may be paid in several ways such as public income-transfer programs or through private supplements like workmen's compensation, sick-leave pay or payments under a private insurance program. Although the workmen's compensation program was acclaimed to be an excellent way to deal with industrial injuries, it has been fired with controversy.
