Welfare and Women's Earnings Politics and Society 25,4 (December 1997): 417-442 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Control; Education; Educational Attainment; Endogeneity; Racial Differences; State Welfare; Wage Differentials; Welfare Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The wage effects of welfare for black & white women workers, ages 21-34, with 12 or fewer years of education were examined, drawing on data from the 1989 wave of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Analysis revealed that a difference of $100 in state welfare benefits was associated with a 3% difference in wages. The relationship between welfare & wages disappeared among women with more than a high school education once state effects were accounted for. The welfare-wage relationship is discussed from the perspective of market-mediated impacts of welfare on wages vs. the politically driven effect of wages on welfare, though no definitive conclusions were drawn due to unsuccessful attempts to control for endogeneity. Welfare as a mechanism to control the supply of low wage labor is discussed. 2 Tables, 1 Appendix. D. Generoli. Copyright: Sociological Abstracts.
