The Journey From Welfare to Work: Learning From Women Living in Poverty

Debra M. McPhee

Laura R. Bronstein

This multiphase study was designed to gain a qualitative understanding of the experiences of single-mother welfare recipients and the effect of welfare reforms on recipients’ perceived ability to care for themselves and their families. The findings were drawn from the first phase of the study in which individual interviews were conducted with 39 current or former recipients, all of whom were women of color living in socioeconomically disadvantaged urban neighborhoods. Eight themes are analyzed, and the implications for social welfare policy and practice are discussed.

Key Words: welfare reform • qualitative study • TANF • women • poverty
