Book Working Wives and Dual Earner Families

Download or read book Working Wives and Dual Earner Families written by Rose Rubin and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1994 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the effects of wives' employment on the economic status of families, using both descriptive and empirical research. The historical and socio-economic causes of change in the employment status of wives and husbands are detailed. The empirical studies respond to some basic questions about dual-earner families: How does having an employed wife influence family lifestyles? What effects do dual-earners have on the finances of their households and on the distribution of income? What policy changes are needed to recognize the economic importance of dual-earner families? In Working Wives and Dual-Earner Families, one-earner and dual-earner families are differentiated, with particular attention to the impact of wives' employment status (full-time or part-time) on household decision making. Among the most interesting research findings are: total family income or tax bracket and the cost of child care are among the critical determinants of dual-earner employment; married-couple families at the same level of income have very similar expenditure patterns regardless of whether the wife is employed; full-time working wives make the distribution of income less equal, but part-time working wives generate greater equality in the distribution of income; families with full-time working wives have higher income, but they do not save more or have greater financial assets than other families; families with part-time employed wives are similar to those with non-employed wives and differ from families with full-time employed wives. The authors conclude that the real incomes of dual-earner families will continue to grow, as one-earner real income remains the same or declines. Household planning and decision making will increasingly be predicated upon having two earners, which will be perceived as the norm. Dual-earner families, based on amenities, mobility, growing families, and demands for public goods, will drive private markets and public policy.

Book A Roadmap to Reducing Child Poverty

Download or read book A Roadmap to Reducing Child Poverty written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-09-16 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The strengths and abilities children develop from infancy through adolescence are crucial for their physical, emotional, and cognitive growth, which in turn help them to achieve success in school and to become responsible, economically self-sufficient, and healthy adults. Capable, responsible, and healthy adults are clearly the foundation of a well-functioning and prosperous society, yet America's future is not as secure as it could be because millions of American children live in families with incomes below the poverty line. A wealth of evidence suggests that a lack of adequate economic resources for families with children compromises these children's ability to grow and achieve adult success, hurting them and the broader society. A Roadmap to Reducing Child Poverty reviews the research on linkages between child poverty and child well-being, and analyzes the poverty-reducing effects of major assistance programs directed at children and families. This report also provides policy and program recommendations for reducing the number of children living in poverty in the United States by half within 10 years.

Book The Impact of Financial Incentives in Welfare Systems on Family Structure

Download or read book The Impact of Financial Incentives in Welfare Systems on Family Structure written by Bruce Stafford and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is much debate on whether financial incentives and disincentives in the welfare system affect union formation and childbearing. This report examines the evidence, focusing on studies from the last decade from English speaking countries which look at such measures as welfare benefits, tax credits, and employment programmes, and their impact on single parenthood, marriage, cohabitation, divorce, and childbearing rates. These include studies on the iintroduction of the Working Families Tax Credit in Great Britain; the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program, the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) in the United States; as well as some studies from Australia, including the Family Tax Benefit. The report concludes with the implications for welfare policy in Great Britain, and the methodological problems of researching welfare systems and family structure.
