The Dynamics of American Welfare Policy: Testing Models of Growth for Aid to Families With Dependent Children
Abstract
dc:descriptionThis study examined the causes of growth in the Aid to Families with Dependent Children program over the years 1946 through 1977 in Illinois. Specifically, six hypotheses were tested: AFDC growth is a function of population, level of employment, level of anti-poverty spending, incidence of civil disorder, administrative changes, and level of General Assistance caseloads. These hypotheses were tested for all counties in Illinois where data was available.
