http://www.heritage.org/Research/Welfare/bg1606es.cfm

Extractions: The erosion of marriage has created enormous difficulties for children, parents, and society. Today, one child in three is born out of wedlock. Compared to children born within marriage, children born outside of marriage are overwhelmingly more likely to live in poverty, depend on welfare, and have behavior problems. They are also more likely to suffer depression and physical abuse, fail in school, abuse drugs, and end up in jail. In response to the overwhelming evidence concerning the harmful consequences of the decline of marriage, the 1996 welfare reform law set a national goal to increase and strengthen two-parent families. To help meet that goal, President George W. Bush wants to set aside $300 million per year for specific programs to strengthen marriage as part of the reauthorization of welfare reform. These programs would teach relationship skills to unmarried couples at the time of pregnancy, with the goal of helping couples develop healthy marriages. The programs would also provide marriage-skills training to low-income married couples to help those couples improve their relationships and avoid marital breakup. Record of Success.

SOURCE The David and Lucille Packard Foundation DESCRIPTION [Excerpted from abstract] This issue calls upon federal and state lawmakers to refocus welfare reform to significantly improve the lives of children in low-income families. It charges that although federal welfare reform has successfully moved many mothers from welfare to work during the past five years, more needs to be done to ensure that children in low-income families have an adequate standard of living, stable and supportive homes, and access to quality child care and after-school programs.

Even in research that examined the impact of welfare reform on children, the emphases centered on infants, preschoolers, and children at the grade school level. Issues concerning the impact on children in middle childhood and early adolescence were not considered a crucial area for research (Brooks, Hair, and Zaslow, 2001). We argue below, however, that children in late middle childhood and early adolescence are likely to face significant challenges in the wake of welfare reform. Our arguments are based on the premise that adolescence is a developmental epoch characterized by rapid physical, intellectual, and socioemotional growth and change, which is frequently accompanied by turbulence, perplexity, and confusion. Hence this research was undertaken specifically to examine potential effects of welfare reform on children in late childhood through adolescence. The research described below uses the Survey of Program Dynamics to examine the links between outcomes for adolescents, source of income, mother?s employment, and welfare reform. Specifically, the research examines how poverty status and family welfare receipt during middle childhood interact with current poverty status and welfare receipt during adolescence to influence a range of outcomes for adolescents. The outcomes that are examined include both parent reports and the set of indicators that are available in the 1998 adolescent self-administered questionnaire.
Contextual Variations In Welfare Reform

Extractions: Dr. Wolman is a Professor in the College of Urban, Labor and Metropolitan Affairs and in the Department of Political Science at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. He is serving as a visiting policy analyst in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation through the Intergovernmental Personnel Act. DHHS, quite understandably, tends to think of the world in terms of individuals, families and households to whom it delivers services. However, those whose concern is with economic development and labor market policy tend to see the world more in terms of places and variations among places. What might be the implications for DHHS concerns, particularly the ability to move from welfare to work, if it attempted to think systematically about the problem of service delivery to individuals, families and households within the context of places or areas which differ in important respects? Do differences among areas in their characteristics affect the ability of individuals to move from welfare to work? What are these place-related characteristics? If they do affect the ability to move from welfare to work, what are the implications, particularly as we consider substantial changes in the existing welfare system, in terms of policy and legislation, technical assistance, and research and evaluation?

The Joint Center for Poverty Research is affiliated with the Irving B. Harris School of Public Policy Studies at the University of Chicago and with the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University Much of the research and debate over poverty, welfare reform, and food assistance programs has centered on our nation's inner cities. But while poverty has become more urbanized over the past several decades, most poor and welfare-recipient families live outside of central cities, and substantial minorities live outside of metropolitan areas altogether. As indicated by Food Stamp, TANF, and Medicaid caseload patterns, welfare reform appears to have distinct geographic components as well. The changes in welfare programs and food assistance policies have generated considerable debate about how people in rural areas will fare under the new system. To further our understanding of the rural dimension of poverty and welfare reform and enable more informed policy judgments about the effects of reforms on rural people and places, conference organizers welcomed high quality research papers on rural or rural/urban comparative dimensions of the following kinds of topics:

Extractions: See below for further details Founded in 1982 by Professor Rudolf Klein , the Centre for the Analysis of Social Policy (CASP) was set up to study the impact of economic, social and political change on the welfare state. Professor Jane Millar took over as Director of the Centre in August 1997. The Centre acts as a focus for the social policy research interests of people from different disciplines and different subject areas. CASP aims to disseminate research results through publications, specialised policy seminars and this and related websites. Research at CASP is focussed on two main areas: Researchers: Dr Peter Cressey, Dr Martin Evans, Prof Ian Gough, Dr Glennys Howarth, Dr Bryn Jones, Prof Jane Millar, Dr Jo Phoenix, Dr Tess Ridge, Prof Graham Room, Dr Michael Rose, Dr Karen Rowlingson This group researches the new contexts of social policy in relation to labour markets, family and community change. Their combined impact can be analysed in terms of social exclusion, new social divisions (class, gender and other dimensions) and inequalities. The research groups into three sub-themes.
