Work Often Not Enough for Welfare Recipients Despite Jobs, Many Remain Poor and Return to Public Aid, Study Says Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, April 12, 1996, News; Pg. 2 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Milwaukee Journal Sentinal Keyword(s): Aid for Families with Dependent Children (AFDC); Poverty; Welfare Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This article discusses the prospects for AFDC recipients after they leave welfare. It cites Meyer and Cancian's study of NLSY79 data, which found that 30% of young women who leave AFDC voluntary return to the program within a year and 40% of young women who leave AFDC voluntarily still have family incomes below the poverty level five years later. The researchers comment that if women who leave welfare voluntarily face a significant risk of remaining in poverty, that rate may be even higher for individuals forced off of AFDC via Wisconsin's welfare reform policies. |
