The purpose of this paper is to test the effects of parental welfare receipt (Aid to Families with Dependent Children and Food Stamps) on children and adolescents. In the first part of the study I am using National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) Mother-Child Data to relate parental history of welfare receipt to cognitive and behavioral outcomes measured in children aged 6-7. Cognitive outcomes include the Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT): Math, Reading Recognition, and Reading Comprehension, and, for behavioral outcomes, the Behavior Problems Index. In the second phase of the study I examine welfare receipt data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) and outcomes in adolescents, including: level of schooling completed; teen nonmarital births; employment; own welfare receipt; and own family structure, including cohabitation, marriage and divorce. |
