Synopsis:

The Brookings Institution's Welfare Reform & Beyond Initiative was created to inform the critical policy debates surrounding the upcoming congressional reauthorization of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program and a number of related programs that were created or dramatically altered by the 1996 landmark welfare reform legislation. The goal of the project has been to take the large volume of existing and forthcoming research studies and shape them into a more coherent and policy-oriented whole. This capstone collection gathers twenty brief essays (published between January 2001 and February 2002) that focus on assessing the record of welfare reform, specific issues likely to be debated before the TANF reauthorization, and a broader set of policy options for low-income families. It is a reader-friendly volume that will provide policymakers, the press, and the interested public with a comprehensive guide to the numerous issues that must be addressed as Congress considers the future of the nation's antipoverty policies. The collection covers the following topics and features a new introduction from the editors: An Overview of Effects to DateWelfare Reform Reauthorization: An Overview of Problems and IssuesA Tax Proposal for Working Families with ChildrenWelfare Reform and PovertyReducing Non-Marital BirthsWhich Welfare Reforms are Best for Children?Welfare and the EconomyWhat Can Be Done to Reduce Teen Pregnancy and Out-of-Wedlock Births? - Changing Welfare OfficesState ProgramsWelfare Reform and EmploymentFragile Families, Welfare Reform, and MarriageHealth Insurance, Welfare, and WorkHelping the Hard-to-Employ Sanctions and Welfare ReformChild Care and Welfare ReformJob Retention and Advancement in Welfare ReformHousing and Welfare ReformNon-CitizensBlock Grant StructureFood StampsWork Support SystemPossible Welfare Reform in the Cities
