Family
Well-Being After Welfare Reform [PDF]
Since 1994, welfare rolls have decreased
by almost 60 percent nationwide. Are low-income children
and their families better off—or worse off—after welfare
reform? This volume explores concerns across a broad range
of areas, identifying the relevant data sets, surveys,
and other materials that could aid this assessment. Authors
include Richard Bavier, Harold S. Beebout, Douglas J.
Besharov and Peter Germanis, Richard J. Gelles, Julia
B. Isaacs, Lorraine V. Klerman, Wendy D. Manning, Peter
H. Rossi, Patricia Ruggles and Matthew Stagner, Isabel
V. Sawhill, Lawrence W. Sherman, and John C. Weicher.
