NOTE: Excerpt from introduction. There is broad support for the idea that welfare should benefit poor children. Yet most reserch on welfare programs, as well as much of the debate about welfare reform, has focused on the way that parents respond to incentives created by welfare, rather than on its effects on children. Less work has been devoted to the fundamental question of whether any of the web of programs supporting poor families benefit children.
