Trends in Welfare, Work, and the Economic Well-being of Female-headed Families with Children
Author: Thomas Gabe
Publisher: Nova Publishers
ISBN: 9781590335086
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 70
Book Description
Sure to raise the hackles of many across the nation is any mention of welfare and federal entitlement programs. All agree that no one should be on welfare, but the question is what to do about those who really need the income provided by the federal government. In 1996, welfare reform legislation enacted the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, which is a block grant provided to the state with a chief purpose of ending the dependence of needy families on government assistance. Among the principal groups impacted by the welfare reform legislation are female headed families with children. Recent analyses have revealed that single mothers are more likely to be working than in the past and that welfare receipt among poor families with women at the head has declined. Despite these trends, single mothers' net income has shown no increase, suggesting that full-time work may not be enough to eliminate poverty and welfare dependency among female families. This book reports on several current trends in the economic status of female headed families, providing an overview of federal programs and their effects along with several useful charts based on Census Bureau information. The combination of statistics and evaluation make for an important contribution to the study of initiatives to defeat poverty and income deficiencies in a significant part of the population.

Women, Work and Welfare in the Middle East and North Africa
Author: Nadereh Chamlou
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 1783267348
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 622
Book Description
"In the aftermath of the Arab Spring, and in light of socio-economic and geopolitical challenges facing governments old and new, women's rights and empowerment have gained new urgency and relevance. Groups in power, or groups contesting for power, are more conservative than expected, and there are serious threats to roll back some of the gains women had achieved over the past 20-30 years on economic and social fronts. The global gender debate has neglected the economic dimension of women's empowerment and a great deal of debate and interest among researchers is needed to push the topics further. This timely book brings together leading regional researchers to offer original research linking gender equality with economic policy, reinforcing the agenda from a broad-based perspective."--Publisher summary.

Book Description
Extrait de la préface : "This book examines the socioeconomic status of female-headed households (FHHs), aspects of their poverty, and the implications of those for sustainable rural development. The Indian State of West Bengal has been used as a case study. The assumption that FFHs dominate the porrer section of the community and have less access to esources than others is tested. We also assess the effectiveness of development programs, that is, trickle-down and sustainable rural development. With this information we define the porr and identify appropriate poverty alleviation programs."
