by Gretchen Rowe

"Child Well-Being at the Outset of Welfare Reform: An Overview of the Nation
and 13 States,"
(B-23), by Sharon Vandivere, Kristin Anderson Moore, and Brett Brown.
Child Trends.

Many of the family characteristics that welfare reform is intended to
change, such
as poverty, parental employment, nonmarital birth, marriage, and welfare
dependence, are also likely to affect the well-being of children living in
low-income families. For that reason it is important to track changes in
child well-being as welfare reform progresses. This publication examines
state-level data on social, economic, and child well-being measures at the
outset of
welfare reform. The 13 states highlighted here are those being studied in
depth as a
part of the Assessing the New Federalism project.
