Long-term Use of AFDC: Women and Poverty Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Kansas, 1997 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Aid for Families with Dependent Children (AFDC); Human Capital; Labor Force Participation; Poverty; Welfare Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This feminist research focuses on the issues of poverty and sexism instead of the notion of welfare dependency. Two research questions were addressed: (1) How are long-term AFDC recipients connected to the labor force? (2) What predicts stable exits for long-term AFDC recipients? Using NLSY data, results indicated that long-term recipients' connections to the paid labor force were similar to all recipients. However, long-term recipients don't look different in terms of human capital characteristics and poverty status compared to their short-term counterparts. Long-term recipients who reported working substantial hours looked more like those who reported working limited or no hours. However, they were more likely to be non-Hispanic/non-Black, to have been married, and to have older children. An event history analysis concerning stable exit predictors revealed that recipients who received job training and had a child under age two were likely to achieve stable exits but not escape poverty. |
