The Welfare System: Failure
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Despite myriad attempts from a number of presidential administrations to reform a system fraught with a combination of conceptual and delivery problems, the welfare system continues to represent one of the greatest social, political and economic failures in America's history. The original intent of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) - otherwise known as welfare - was to provide short-term financial help for individuals and families alike to get back on their feet; what it has evolved into, however, is an overextended, abused system that fails to instill self-sufficiency by perpetuating idleness.

Welfare and Low-Wage Work
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper based on Edin and Lein's Making Ends Meet: How Single Mothers Survive Welfare and Low Wage Work, discussing some of the survival strategies of single mothers unable to support themselves and their children fully through either welfare programs or low-wage work. Full time low-wage employment appears to yield higher income than full dependence on welfare, but the net result of employment for single mothers is that after daycare expenses and the added expenses of working, the family's net income often is less than if the mother relied only on welfare to support herself and her children. Welfare recipients themselves often are forced to seek other, unreported, income in order to support their families Bibliography lists 1 source.
