Digital Library Federation, December 2002 Includes bibliographical references and index Introduction : questioning the success of welfare reform -- History and political economy of welfare in the United States and Oregon -- Velvet gloves, iron fists, and rose-colored glasses : welfare administrators and the official story of welfare restructuring -- Doing the work of welfare : enforcing "self-sufficiency" on the front lines -- Negotiating neoliberal ideology and "on the ground" reality in welfare work -- The other side of the desk : client experiences and perspectives on welfare restructuring -- Life after welfare : the costs of low-wage employment -- Conclusion : reforming welfare "reform." This volume examines the effects of mid 1990s welfare reform in the state of Oregon. The reforms made cash assistance temporary and contingent on recipients' seeking and finding employment. Based on comprehensive research conducted in the late 1990s, researchers interviewed and observed low-income families across the state, as well as welfare workers and administrators. These interviews led to new definitions of the problems facing those who work within the welfare delivery system and the people the system serves. The researchers assessed the strengths and shortcoming of welfare reform, and they suggest policy directions that will promote economic security and family well being. The reasons for the overall failure of welfare reform, the authors concluded, are complex and rooted in a misdiagnosis of the reasons that millions of families are poor and dependence on policy solutions "that intensified economic insecurity and reproduced inequalities more than they fostered poverty reduction or economic opportunity." The authors call for an immediate effort to build a stronger social safety net and to repeal the most onerous provisions of welfare reform. They recommend a host of policies to promote economic security including a focus on developing higher wage jobs, health care reform, and access to high quality and affordable higher education, housing and child care |

This volume examines the effects of mid 1990s welfare reform in the state of Oregon. The reforms made cash assistance temporary and contingent on recipients' seeking and finding employment. Based on comprehensive research conducted in the late 1990s, researchers interviewed and observed low-income families across the state, as well as welfare workers and administrators. These interviews led to new definitions of the problems facing those who work within the welfare delivery system and the people the system serves. The researchers assessed the strengths and shortcoming of welfare reform, and they suggest policy directions that will promote economic security and family well being. The reasons for the overall failure of welfare reform, the authors concluded, are complex and rooted in a misdiagnosis of the reasons that millions of families are poor and dependence on policy solutions "that intensified economic insecurity and reproduced inequalities more than they fostered poverty reduction or economic opportunity." The authors call for an immediate effort to build a stronger social safety net and to repeal the most onerous provisions of welfare reform. They recommend a host of policies to promote economic security including a focus on developing higher wage jobs, health care reform, and access to high quality and affordable higher education, housing and child care Oregon / Adult and Family Services Division fast Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (Program) fast Oregon / Adult and Family Services Division United States Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (Program) Oregon Adult and Family Services Division United States Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 Geschichte 1996-2010 swd Geschichte 1996-2010 gnd rswk-swf Empirische Sozialforschung swd Sozialwesen swd POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Social Services & Welfare bisacsh POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Social Security bisacsh Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (United States) fast Poor families fast Public welfare fast Public welfare administration fast Social workers fast Welfare recipients fast Public welfare Oregon Public welfare administration Oregon Welfare recipients Oregon Poor families Oregon Social workers Oregon Sozialwesen (DE-588)4139318-1 gnd rswk-swf Empirische Sozialforschung (DE-588)4014606-6 gnd rswk-swf USA Oregon (DE-588)4043760-7 gnd rswk-swf Oregon (DE-588)4043760-7 g Sozialwesen (DE-588)4139318-1 s Empirische Sozialforschung (DE-588)4014606-6 s Geschichte 1996-2010 z 1\p DE-604 Acker, Joan Sonstige oth Weigt, Jill Michele Sonstige oth http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=671541 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
