Poor Women in a Bind: Social Reproduction Without Social Supports

Mimi Abramovitz

The current effort to use social policy to restore the traditional nuclear family reflects deep-seated fears about the changing structure of the middle-class family, as well as distrust of the caretaking capacity of the poor. The concepts of the family ethic and social reproduction are used to examine and explain the cutbacks in social welfare and the state's increasingly punitive treatment of poor women and their families.
