Anti-Poverty Policy for Families in the Next Century: From Welfare to Work—and Worries
揭示了社会政策从削减非工作家庭福利转向增加低收入工作家庭支持的变化，分析了这些变化如何改变工作激励，特别是对单亲母亲的影响，并探讨了新方向的风险和下世纪的挑战。
This paper reveals that recent changes in social policy have included both sharp cutbacks in welfare for non-working families and dramatic increases in supports for low income working families. It explores the reasons for these changes, and documents how they have radically changed work incentives for some persons, notable single mothers. The result has been a large increase in work by low wage single parents. The paper concludes by examining several potential dangers of this new direction and explores the challenges that remain for the next century.
