Three research questions are asked: (1) How do parental Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) receipt and other family background characteristics affect subsequent dependency on AFDC? (2) How do attitudes about welfare and state AFDC benefit levels affect AFDC dependency? and (3) How do the patterns and factors associated with AFDC dependency vary across racial and ethnic lines? The results suggest that women who grew up in households that received welfare during the woman's adolescence are approximately twice as likely to be dependent on AFDC in young adulthood as women whose families did not receive welfare. Further, state AFDC benefit levels are associated with higher risks of AFDC dependency, but the association is significant only for Anglo women. These analyses provide little support for the hypothesis that attitudes toward welfare and low-wage work increase the likelihood of welfare dependency. 3 Tables, 2 Figures, 1 Appendix, 35 References.

Persistence of Poverty across Generations: A Comparison of Anglos, Blacks, and Latinos New England Journal of Public Policy 11,1 (Spring-Summer 1995): 117-146 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: John W.

Utilizing data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, examines the impact of children growing up in poverty on the probability of their remaining in poverty during young adulthood. Racial, ethnic, and gender differences in patterns of persistent poverty are examined and predictors of poverty status in young adulthood are identified. The results suggest that women, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or adolescent poverty status, and black men who grew up in poverty, are more likely to be poor as young adults than are Anglo men. Logistic regression analyses reveal that in addition to education and work experience, metropolitan unemployment rates were also significant predictors of poverty status for both men and women. Further, while growing up in a poor family for extended periods of time was associated with the increasing probability of being poor for minority men and Anglo women, other family background variables were insignificant predictors of adult pover ty status in all models. 6 Tables, 2 Appendixes.
