Lessons for Welfare Reform
Author: David M. O'Neill
Publisher: W E Upjohn Inst for
ISBN: 9780880991797
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
This book presents research results relating to historical trends in the AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) caseload, the personal characteristics and patterns of welfare participation in a nationally representative sample of young women followed over a 13-year period, and an evaluative survey of the effectiveness of past education, training, and workfare programs in reducing the AFDC caseload. Conclusions include the following: (1) welfare caseloads are responsive to changes in the level of benefits provided by the welfare system; (2) about half of welfare recipients have been on welfare for more than 5 years; (3) marriage seems to be the biggest factor in moving mothers from welfare to work; (4) there is no evidence that any of the large number of education, employment, and training programs that have been offered or mandated for AFDC recipients since 1967 has had a significant impact on the duration of time spent on welfare; (5) it may be more effective for states to focus efforts on programs aimed at preventing teen pregnancy, but such efforts have not been proven very successful; and (6) school may be the institution best suited to addressing the problems associated with welfare dependency. (Contains 46 references.) (KC)
