Becoming Poor and Using Public Assistance Programs Journal of Poverty 3,1 (1999): 1-23. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1300/J134v03n01_01 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Haworth Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Poverty; Welfare Using logistic regression analysis on data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, this study found that social psychological attributes failed to affect the likelihood of becoming poor and of using public assistance programs beyond that of sociodemographic characteristics. The number of years respondents lived in poverty was the best predictor of moving from above poverty in one year to below poverty the following year, while the number of years respondents lived in families that received public assistance was the best predictor of moving from self-support to entering into a public assistance program from one year to the next. Implications regarding the contemporary shift in the philosophy of social welfare from income maintenance to self-support are discussed.
