The Impact of Public Assistance on the Rehabilitation Process of Handicapped Women Journal of Applied Rehabilitation Counseling 11,1 (Spring 1980): 192-195. Also: http://psycnet.apa.org/psycinfo/1984-24166-001 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: National Rehabilitation Counseling Association Keyword(s): Behavior; Disability; Educational Attainment; Family Size; Rehabilitation; Transfers, Financial; Welfare Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Public assistance has been described as a "free" lunch for the service recipient. However, nothing can be further from the facts. Transfer dollars operate as a strong vocational disincentive, not by destroying the will or desire to work, but more by adding to the environmental barriers of seeking gainful employment. This current study investigates the impact of transfer income upon the work behavior of handicapped women. Correlational analysis, contingency (chi-square) analysis and analysis of variance were used to test the strength and direction of the relationships between work behavior and disability, family size, educational attainment, and transfer income from various sources. |
