Correlations Between Mothers' and Daughters' Welfare Experiences Working Paper, Institute for Research on Poverty, University of Wisconson - Madison, 1989 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Institute for Research on Poverty (IRP), University of Wisconsin - Madison Keyword(s): Aid for Families with Dependent Children (AFDC); Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Mothers and Daughters; Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID); Poverty; Research Methodology; Welfare Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This report describes the previous work on intergenerational correlation of welfare experiences of mothers and daughters and presents new evidence based on the NLSY. Previous studies artificially limited the time period over which mothers and daughters were observed by focusing on the mothers' and daughters' experience during limited windows during the beginning and end of the survey. The descriptive duration tables and multivariate equations presented in this report overcome this drawback by using all the information in the survey. The results show a strong degree of correlation between mothers' and daughters' welfare experiences. The daughters of mothers who received assistance were more likely to have a child at every given age and were much more likely to start an AFDC spell after the birth of their first child. The facts presented are consistent with two competing theories - daughters may have experiences similar to their mothers' because they face similar constraints or because tastes or information are passed from one generation to the next. Since these two theories have very different policy implications, this study is only an intermediate step in the study of intergenerational welfare dependency. |

Earnings Mobility of Primary Earners Final Report, Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 1980 Cohort(s): Mature Women, NLSY79, Older Men, Young Men, Young Women Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Earnings; Educational Attainment; Employment; Life Cycle Research; Mobility; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Underemployment; Work History Data from five cohorts of the NLS were used to determine the degree of earnings mobility in the lower tail of the earnings distribution. The study documents that a substantial proportion of the low earnings population was immobile. Two major policy conclusions result from this study. First, there is a demonstrated need for programs for the chronically underemployed. Earnings poverty is more than a transitory or life-cycle phenomenon. Likewise, it is a problem that affects more people than the stereotypical teenager, ex-offender or welfare mother. Second, programs should be targeted at people with histories of low earnings over more than one year. However, if long work histories are not available it is better to target programs on people with recent low earnings than to use other attributes such as race, region or educational attainment as proxies to identify the long-term earnings poor. |

Earnings Mobility: Permanent Change or Transitory Fluctuations? Review of Economics and Statistics 64,3 (August 1982): 450-456. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1925943 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Harvard University Press Keyword(s): Earnings; Husbands; Mobility; Schooling; Welfare Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Analysis of always married, middle-aged males indicates that a considerable amount of variability in measured earnings reflects transitory variation. When these transitory fluctuations are eliminated, 43 percent of the persons with low earnings in a random year are seen to have low earnings in all of six years. This indicates a good deal of permanence within the low earnings population. Mobility patterns are found to vary with the person's place in the earnings distribution. The greatest amount of transitory variation in earnings is seen to have been experienced by those at the top and the bottom of the earnings distribution. Examination of demographic characteristics indicates that being non-white, older, having low education, or living in the Southern United States or outside an SMSA all increase the probability of having permanently low earnings more than they increase the probability of having temporarily low earnings. Households with a husband receiving permanently low earnings are seen to have been more unlikely to have a wife or other member working, and are more likely to receive public assistance. However, these other sources of income are not found to be sufficient to compensate for the head's low earnings in many cases. |

The Intergenerational Transmission of Welfare Participation: Facts and Possible Causes Journal of Policy Analysis and Management 11,2 (Spring 1992): 254-272. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.2307/3325367/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Wiley Online Keyword(s): Aid for Families with Dependent Children (AFDC); Ethnic Differences; Ethnic Groups; Event History; Family Income; Hispanics; Income Level; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Mothers and Daughters; Wage Dynamics; Welfare Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Two methodological issues in measuring intergenerational correlations in welfare participation are explored. One controls for differences in eligibility as well as participation, the other uses event history analysis on mothers' and daughters' welfare histories. The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth is used to measure the intergenerational correlation among whites, blacks, & Hispanics. It is concluded that: (1) parental participation in Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) is correlated with daughters' AFDC participation for whites & Hispanics; (2) parents' participation does not seem to be capturing solely the effects of low income, which leads to a correlation in mothers' and daughters' eligibility; and (3) the loss of income if the parent does not participate raises the probability that the daughter will receive assistance. The effect of this income loss offsets nearly half of the participation effect for whites. |
