Book Description
This volume summarizes data from six large urban areas to identify changes in welfare participation and labor market involvement of female welfare recipients from the early 1990s through 1999. King and Mueser (Upjohn Institute for Employment Research) consider the role of demographic characteristics, economic factors, and policy regimes to explain welfare exit and employment rates for each city. They also identify some similarities and differences between these women and other low-wage workers who have not received welfare. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
