A Family Economic Self Sufficiency Measure Consumer Interests Annual 42 (1996): 205-206 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: American Council on Consumer Interests (ACCI) Keyword(s): Family Formation; Family Studies; Welfare Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Policy makers and researchers commonly set family economic self-sufficiency as a goal for welfare recipients, but the term is often not defined. The most common definition--not receiving welfare--is too narrow. A more inclusive measure of self sufficiency is needed if researchers are to predict which young persons will become economically self-sufficient adults. To that end, a measure which can be used to research this topic is proposed in this paper |

Factors Associated With Self-sufficiency of Young Adults Family Economics and Resource Management Biennial (1997): 75-78 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Family Economics and Resource Management (FERM) Keyword(s): Family Background and Culture; High School Completion/Graduates; High School Dropouts; High School Students; Human Capital; Income; School Completion; Welfare Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. High school drop out rates are a matter of considerable concern. The results from research presented in this paper indicate that the concern is well founded, because the most consistent variable associated with self-sufficiency is completion of high school. A national longitudinal sample of young adults was used to investigate human capital investments, family background and personal characteristic associated with income and receipt of public assistance at age 27. |
