Why Congress Must Reform Welfare Backgrounder #1063 Report, The Heritage Foundation, December 4, 1995. Also: http://www.heritage.org/Research/Welfare/BG1063.cfm Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: The Heritage Foundation Keyword(s): Childbearing, Premarital/Nonmarital; Crime; Parents, Single; Public Housing; Welfare Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper argues against the status quo welfare system and advocates its reform. A Heritage Foundation analysis of NLSY79 data is cited as proof of welfare's detrimental impact on youth. Specifically, the Heritage Foundation study states that boys raised in single-parent households receiving public housing aid are five times more likely to engage in criminal activity and young girls raised in single-parent homes in public housing are five times more likely to bear children out of wedlock. |
