Evaluating Welfare Reform in an Era of Transition identifies the key policy questions for measuring whether our changing social welfare programs are working, reviews the available studies and research, and recommends the most effective ways to answer those questions. This book discusses the development of welfare policy, including the landmark 1996 federal law that devolved most of the responsibility for welfare policies and their implementation to the states. A thorough analysis of the available research leads to the identification of gaps in what is currently known about the effects of welfare reform. Evaluating Welfare Reform in an Era of Transition specifies what-and why-we need to know about the response of individual states to the federal overhaul of welfare and the effects of the many changes in the nation's welfare laws, policies, and practices. With a clear approach to a variety of issues, Evaluating Welfare Reform in an Era of Transition will be important to policy makers, welfare administrators, researchers, journalists, and advocates on all sides of the issue. 517 3 $aWelfare reform 606 $aPublic welfare$zUnited States$xEvaluation 606 $aPublic welfare administration$zUnited States$xEvaluation 606 $aSocial surveys$zUnited States$xEvaluation 615 0$aPublic welfare$xEvaluation. 615 0$aPublic welfare administration$xEvaluation. 615 0$aSocial surveys$xEvaluation. 676 $a361.973 701 $aMoffitt$b Robert$0120908 701 $aVer Ploeg$b Michele$01085439 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bPanel on Data and Methods for Measuring the Effects of Changes in Social Welfare Programs. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957217503321 996 $aEvaluating welfare reform in an era of transition$94360224 997 $aUNINA
