From the supplier: The states of Wisconsin, Colorado, Iowa, Vermont and Florida have embarked on efforts to revamp what they consider as an antiquated and fragmented welfare system that not only allows but also encourages dependence. For its part, the administration has granted waivers to these states, which specifically want to set a limit to the time that a recipient can stay on welfare, but through different ways.

From the supplier: The administration of Pres Bill Clinton strived to cut the budget deficit in 1996 by lessening its allocation for public welfare. This move, however, was largely criticized by analysts who pointed out the comparatively larger budget allocated for corporate welfare. It seems that while the administration was supposedly committed to helping the poor, it had no reservations regarding helping large companies. The government justified their policies in the name of economic incentives. The support given to the companies would lead to the eventual steady generation of employment.

Product Description
Analysis of the distributional impact of policy reforms plays an important role in the elaboration and implementation of poverty reduction strategies in developing and transitional countries, promoting evidence-based policy choices and fostering debate on policy reform options.International agencies and national partners are increasingly encouraging a more systematic application of policy reform analysis.Requisite to a systematic application is capacity building within countries as well as within donor agencies.Tools for Institutional, Political, and Social Analysis of Policy Reform: A Sourcebook for Development Practitioners contributes to this agenda by introducing a framework and a set of practical tools that analyze the institutional, political, and social dimensions of policy design and implementation.The authors fill a perceived gap in knowledge of the application of social tools and complement existing guidance on conventional economic analysis of distributional impacts of reform.This book will be of interest to commissioners and practitioners working in policy analysis in a range of areas-including macroeconomic, sectoral, and public sector policy-that are subject to ongoing policy reform discussions. ...

Unreliable and deceitful seller
I have not received the book I ordered; my email inquiry about the whereabouts of the book resulted in a response from the merchant alleging that I might be a "scammer."That response was so outrageous as to be characterized as uncivilized behavior.I have disputed this transaction with my credit card company, and the matter is still under investigation.

I certainly don't recommend this seller to be linked to Amazon.com website.

I cannot rate this seller, because he does not deserve even one star. The item for rating forces you to choose one or more stars. That is not right. There must be an option to opt out of this item if customers choose to do so. ... Read more

From the supplier: The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act abolished the Aid to Families with Dependent Children program and is expected to enhance poverty among households with mothers that fail to find full-time employment. It is expected to increase the gap between moderately-low and very-low income families and stem the cognitive development of children that belong to very poor households. The government is advised to implement policies that address economic deprivation and its effects on children.

From the supplier: The recession has made it difficult for the US government to institute reforms in the welfare system. As states grapple with insufficient budget, welfare seekers have multiplied in number. There is a pressing need for the coordination of the various government agencies involved in ameliorating the social conditions of Americans. In the state of Oregon, for instance, former welfare recipients who have undergone special training via a multi-agency program will run a new aircraft maintenance shop. Such multi-level policy coordination may prove to be crucial in implementing welfare reforms.

From the supplier: Researcher Erika Kates believes that current Aid For Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) policies are counterproductive and have only served to institutionalize poverty among women with young children. According to Kates, the key to AFDC reform lies in providing a viable mechanism for improving welfare recipients' access to higher education since this would provide more longlasting economic and employment benefits to poor women.

From the supplier: The government has ignored simple, fundamental truths in implementing massive, broad-based welfare reform. Perhaps a new strategy to return the nation to a compassionate, sensible approach to welfare would be a better idea than to engage the government in a sane discussion of anti-poverty programs. One promising vehicle involves the inclusion of welfare issues into a platform designed to make low-wage employment more survivable.

From the supplier: Demographic data on recipients of Aid to Families With Dependent Children (AFDC) program were evaluated to determine the factors which enable families to forgo welfare. A brief history of the AFDC program was presented. The demographic variables examined included social status, race, education, age and number of children and employment. It was discovered that AFDC families headed by single women parents with low educational attainment, work experience and with children less than six years old are less likely to leave AFDC programs.

From the supplier: Labor economist Teresa Amott warns that any new initiatives in the name of welfare reform may be doomed because they target the personal behavior of welfare recipients instead of the labor market barriers that make it difficult for them to find employment. According to Amott, the key to welfare reform lies not just in improved training but also in improved pay, specifically in a higher minimum wage.

From the supplier: Social organizer Theresa Funiciello believes that welfare recipients are being badly mistreated by the very people who claim to care for them: the social services bureaucrats. According to Funiciello, the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program exemplifies the maltreatment of those who seek help from it. Faced with callousness and inefficiency, Funiciello notes that many mothers eligible for AFDC suffer untold humiliations and often fail to receive the assistance they really need.

From the supplier: The abolition of welfare will entail shifts in the provision for needy children. The conservative Republican Congress aims to terminate such programs that affect children as housing subsidies, food stamps and Aid to Families with Dependent Children. Some private services can step in when support is needed, including church charities and adoption services.
