NBER STORY

01.13.09 | Comment?

I have a story in the January edition of the NBER (National Bureau of Economic Research) digest on the true effects of “Work First” welfare reform.

“…welfare reforms have reduced both the probability that women aged 21-49 will attend high school and that those aged 24-49 will attend college, by 20-25 percent. These findings suggest that gains in reducing welfare caseloads have come at a cost of lowering the educational attainment of women at risk for relying on welfare.“
