Welfare to Work Programs

Paper Summary:

This paper studies the problem of women maintaining jobs after welfare to work programs in Philadelphia and how success or failure revolves around family support and job quality. This paper focuses on the fact that women are not receiving adequate childcare in tandem with the job training they are receiving, will fail to maintain their position of employment. By actively creating job training of a higher quality in these programs and giving special programs for childcare and transportation, the issue of unemployment will soon decline.

From the Paper:

"The aim of this study will be to examine women that have completed "welfare to work" programs, but cannot maintain jobs in the city of Philadelphia. The majority of women that do not hold jobs after completing their program relate directly to family support systems, but also the quality of the job is a strong factor in regards to their training. With these two important factors: family support and job quality, one can examine possible solutions for single mother families that cannot retain employment after completing welfare to work programs. Within the past five years there has been an increase in the number of welfare to work women in Philadelphia. These women had completed transitional work program, but were unable to retain employment after six months."
