Is Welfare Reform An Effective Policy In California?
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Whether or not welfare reform has been beneficial in California is not a question that can be answered with a simple yes or no. There are a number of variables that must be taken into consideration before an accurate assessment of such impact can be made. One aspect of welfare reform, also called the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996, has been that it has set a precedent for encouraging otherwise nonproductive members of society to become more instrumental in their own well being. By not living up to the standards set by welfare reform, which is established on an individual basis by each state, single people and families alike are in danger of losing their benefits. It does not take much, either, to find one's welfare benefits at stake: breaking rules, not finding work or simply exhausting their benefits clock. Urging people to become less and less dependent upon the system has, indeed, helped some states in their ongoing attempt to stay ahead of the game. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Job Opportunity verses Government Aid: Hypothetical Approaches for Improving the Economic Status of Female Heads of Household
[ send me this paper ]
A 2 page analysis of two hypothetical approaches to improving the economic status of low income women and their dependents. Contrasts the benefits and disadvantages of one program providing higher levels of earned income credit and another which provides jobs and equitable wages for a predetermined period. Concludes that he second approach rewards a woman for working but at the same time there is a more immediate cap put on the time that she can benefit from such a program. The woman's work incentive, therefore, is not in the form of government subsidies but in the form of the realization that after three years she will be on her own to provide for the needs of her family. While it may seem like a harsher program in many ways, it is superior to the first in that the taxpayer is not left in the position of indefinitely having to support the families of others.
