An analysis of eight of the largest US welfare programmes affecting
children. These programmes include Aid to Families with Dependent
Children, the Food Stamp Program. Medicaid, housing assistance,
supplemental feeding programmes such as WIC and School Lunch, Head
Start and the Earned Income Tax Credit. Despite the fact that these
programmes were designed to serve children, most discussion of
welfare reforms focuses on the incentives that the welfare system
creates for parents. This analysis represents an evaluation of the
evidence regarding the effects of welfare programmes on the
children themselves. Programmes such as Medicaid and Head Start
have a larger effect on measures of child well-being than cash
transfer programs such as AFDC. This suggests an economic rationale
for the recent trend towards providing a larger proportion of
assistance in-kind.
