摘要：Antipoverty programs that enhance parents’ self-sufficiency
by requiring or supporting employment have
grown in popularity over the last 30 years. Although
improving the well-being of children is an often-expressed
goal of policy reforms, emphasizing adult employment
and reductions in the welfare rolls have taken
precedence in the policy debate. The passage of the 1996
Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation
Act is a recent example.
