Welfare Savings from Employment and Training Programs for Welfare Recipients
分析如何通过将就业和培训计划定向提供给最可能减少福利支出的女性,来提高福利储蓄,并基于五个项目的数据重新计算了选择性提供计划的影响。
Policy makers are showing increasing interest in employment and training programs as a means of reducing welfare costs, despite the evidence that welfare costs are reduced little by these programs. This paper examines the potential for increasing the welfare savings associated with such programs by targeting women for whom the attendant welfare reductions are likely to be the largest. It reanalyzes data from five programs and computes welfare impacts as if the programs had been selectively offered. The results suggest that targeting job-search assistance programs is not likely to be effective, but taht there is a potential for improving the effectiveness of subsidized employment and training programs.
