Determinants of Welfare Leaving: The Significance of Educational Attainment Presented: Tampa FL, Society for Social Work and Research 15th Annual Conference, January 2011 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR) Keyword(s): Education; Educational Attainment; Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF); Welfare Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Methods: Event history analysis, specifically Cox regression model, was employed to analyze the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY97) to examine the determinants of welfare leaving. NLSY97 provides monthly information about welfare participations and various measures of educational achievement, which enables the authors to identify the effect of educational level on welfare leaving. Cox regression model was useful for this study, because it provides the estimates of the educational achievement on welfare duration after adjustment. Level of education, marital status, race, and number of children were explored among participants who had experienced at least one TANF spell. |
