The Feminization of Poverty Social Science 7,1 (Spring 1986): 6-10 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: Pi Gamma Mu - the National Social Science Honor Society Keyword(s): Children; Divorce; Poverty; Racial Differences; Women Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. (Author's Note: With assistance from Charles Hunter) During the 1970s, females in the United States made up an increasing share of the poor population. Analysis of data collected between 1967 and 1982 by the NLS of Young Women shows that most females enter poverty after divorce or after bearing an illegitimate child. However, there are also important racial differences in both entry into and exit from poverty. |
