Utilizes a macroperspective to analyze the relationship between key occupational characteristics & welfare recidivism, focusing on the types of occupations that may lead women to return to welfare. Several hypotheses of the relationship between each occupational characteristics & welfare recidivism are proposed: (1) the higher the turnover rate of an occupation, the more likely a woman will return to welfare; (2) the higher the % of part-time workers in an occupation, the more likely a woman will return to welfare; & (3) the higher the % of females in an occupation, the more likely a woman will return to welfare. Event history analysis is conducted utilizing the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1983-1991. Along with the key occupational characteristics, the model includes as control variables those individual characteristics associated with welfare recipients that have been studied in past research.
