How well do you understand the sweeping welfare reforms of the
mid-1990s? The Transition from Welfare to Work: Processes,
Challenges, and Outcomes provides a comprehensive examination of
the welfare-to-work initiatives that were undertaken just prior to
and following the major reform of United States welfare legislation
in 1996. It will familiarize you with the intent of those reforms
and show you how those interventions have been implemented. It also
explores the barriers to employment that must be overcome by
welfare-to-work clients, and the impact of these changes on
clients, employers, and society. From the editors: "Although the
numbers enrolled in welfare programs dropped dramatically in the
last few years of the economic expansion of the 1990s, until
recently we have known very little about the conditions of families
affected by welfare-to-work policies. How did welfare-to-work
interventions change the lives of participants and their families?
What factors helped or hindered the transition to paid work? Are
welfare-to-work policies likely to have actually improved the
earnings or income of former AFDC recipients? This book studies all
these questions." The Transition from Welfare to Work: Processes,
Challenges, and Outcomes presents qualitative, quantitative, and
econometric analyses as well as panel studies, longitudinal, and
quasi-experimental designs. Beginning with a brief description of
the goals and structure of the Personal Responsibility and Work
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, this book examines all of
the phases of the welfare-to-work process. Use it to increase your
understanding of: the implementation of interventions designed to
place TANF recipients in jobs the factors that impact the readiness
of low-income women to enter the job market the outcomes of current
and earlier welfare-to-work interventions the steps we need to take
to know how these citizens are faring in the welfare-to-work
environment and more!
