Although federal and state support for childcare has increased
dramatically in response to welfare work requirements, low-income
families are still facing difficulties balancing work and family
obligations. There is wide variation across states in the
strictness of welfare work requirements and in the generosity of
childcare support. In addition, the level of co-payments required
and the flexibility to use subsidies for informal modes of
childcare differ across states, leading families to make different
childcare and employment choices. The purpose of From Welfare to
Childcare is first to describe what changes occurred in childcare
following the 1996 welfare reform legislation, and then to analyze
how federal welfare and subsidy policies influence the
availability, accessibility, and quality of childcare arrangements
for single mothers with young children. National in scope, it
focuses on how the reforms influence the way that children are
cared for when their mothers leave welfare and enter the workforce.
This book is suitable for national, state, and local policymakers,
non-profit organizations that study and attempt to influence public
policy, and scholars interested in family and social policy issues.
It can be used as a text in graduate level courses on welfare,
poverty, and children and public policy.
