I compare and contrast relief efforts by governments in response to the extraordinary unemployment of the G reat D epression in the US and A ustralia. The effectiveness of relief spending in A merica at the local level is discussed using recent studies estimating the relationship between relief spending and various demographic measures. I develop a new panel data set for the A ustralian states from 1929 through 1939. Increased income in manufacturing and rural production were associated with lower infant mortality rates and death rates and higher fertility rates. In contrast to the US experience, however, higher per capita relief spending was associated with lower birth rates
