With the passage of the Personal Responsibility and
Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, states
gained more discretion for welfare provisions than
they had previously experienced. Many states
adopted strict work attachment strategies, believing
that doing so would be a better way to reduce
welfare dependency. As a result, there has been an
unpredicted reduction in welfare recipient caseloads
and a corresponding increase in work participation.
However, little is known about determinants of state
choices for work attachment strategies after the
1996 reforms and impact of work attachment
strategies on welfare recipients, former welfare
recipients, and poverty. This book explains
theoretical underpinnings of work attachment
strategies; determinants of state work attachment
strategies choices; factors influencing employment,
income, and poverty at the state and individual
level. This study provides important information
for policy makers, political science scholars, and
social work professionals to understand political
and socioeconomic systems of state policy choices
and the impact of main policies of the 1996 welfare
reform on low income families.
