Rural Attitudes Toward Women, Work, and Welfare

Department of Social Work, University of Wyoming, Laramie

This article explores public attitudes toward work requirements for welfare mothers in one rural state— Wyoming—on the basis of a public opinion survey conducted in fall 1986. It investigates whether women who receive welfare should work, whether the age of children should be considered in determining who should work, what kinds of jobs women should be required to take, and whether the government should support poor mothers' pursuit of a college education. The article discusses results in terms of three values in rural culture: work, family, and education.
