Welfare, Children & Families: A Three City Study

This research project, an intensive study in Boston, Chicago, and San Antonio, assesses the well-being of low-income children and families in the post-welfare reform era. The project examines strategies families have used to respond to reform, in terms of employment, schooling or other forms of training, residential mobility, and fertility. This project focuses on how these strategies affect children's lives, emphasizing their health and development, as well as their need for, and use of, social services.
