Employment and the Use of Welfare Among Male and Female Heads of AFDC Households

Department of Social Work Education at the California State University, Fresno, 5310 Campus Drive, Fresno, CA 93740-0102donna_hardina{at}csufresno.edu

Studies have found that single mothers on welfare rarely find fulltime, permanent jobs at adequate wages, but few have examined the impact of gender on the likelihood that welfare recipients will leave welfare and find employment. Using data on 500 primary wage earners in two-parent aid to families with dependent children (AFDC) households, this study compared men's and women's receipt of welfare, employment, and hours of work and types of jobs available to them. Exit from welfare and employment were predicted using such factors as Gender, High School Graduation, Age, Disability, and Number of Children in the Household.
