How Welfare Harms Kids Backgrounder #1084 Report, The Heritage Foundation, June 5, 1996. Also: http://www.heritage.org/Research/Welfare/BG1084.cfm Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: The Heritage Foundation Keyword(s): Aid for Families with Dependent Children (AFDC); Children; Crime; Marriage; Parents, Single; Sexual Activity; Welfare Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Rector and Fagan argue that welfare policies, which were ostensibly implemented to help children, actually harm children more than poverty itself, resulting in increased welfare dependence and out of wedlock births. Studies of NLSY79 data are cited to evidence claims that black men born to single parent families are twice as likely to engage in criminal activity and that children born out of wedlock are twice as likely to be sexual active teenagers than "legitimate" children born to married couples. |
