内容説明

The design of welfare programs in an era of reform and devolution to the states must take into account the likely effects of programs on demographic behavior. Most research on welfare in the past has examined labor market issues, although there have also been some important evaluations of the effects of the Aid to Families with Dependent Children Program on out-of-wedlock childbearing. Much less information is available on other issues equally central to the debate, including effects on abortion decisions, marriage and divorce, intrafamily relations, household formation, and living arrangements. This volume of papers contains reviews and syntheses of existing evidence bearing on the demographic impacts of welfare and ideas for how to evaluate new state-level reforms. Table of Contents Front Matter 1 Introduction 2 The Changing Circumstances of Marriage and Fertility in the United States 3 Trends in the Welfare System 4 The Effect of Welfare on Marriage and Fertility 5 Welfare Reform and Abortion 6 Changing Family Formation Behavior Through Welfare Reform 7 The Effect of Welfare on Child Outcomes
