This statement, prepared for the Senate's Subcommittee on Social Security and Family Policy, reviews the various data sources available to assist in the examination of poverty persistence and its effect over time on our nation's children. Highlighted were results from studies based on such longitudinal data sources as the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) and the National Longitudinal Surveys of Labor Market Experience (NLS) which examined welfare spells, patterns of welfare recipiency among adolescent mothers and intergenerational correlates of welfare participation. Finally, information on the working poor derived from the Current Population Surveys and expenditure patterns of single parent households and households receiving Supplemental Security Income drawn from the Consumer Expenditure Surveys is summarized.
