Abstract
A social network approach to social welfare is gaining in popularity. A study of a large random sample of adults, however, revealed significantly fewer network resources among the poor than among higher income groups. Therefore, the authors assert that social workers must avoid addressing the problems of the poor solely through informal networks and target network interventions carefully to achieve maximum effectiveness.
