Second-Generation Individual Development Account Research: Preliminary Findings
Historically, the poor have been excluded from asset-building policies, and consequently have accumulated very little wealth. The discrepancy between those with the highest incomes and those with the lowest continues to widen dramatically, with little hope of change unless asset-building polices are created to include the poor. Not only is this an issue of economic inequity, but of social and personal inequities as well. This paper describes the …
Multi-Systems Life Course: A New Practice Perspective and Its Application in Advanced Practice With Racial and Ethnic Populations
To better respond to social work's directive of increased sensitivity to cultural and ethnic diversity, it is imperative that theory development includes explicit consideration of the complex experiences of racial and ethnic minorities. For a more advanced and culturally relative practice, the authors posit the development of an encompassing perspective referred to as multi-systems life course (MSLC). Using a case example, this article applies a …
Arkansas IDA Programs: Examining Asset Retention and Perceptions of Well-Being
As the antipoverty initiative known as Individual Development Accounts (IDAs) enters into its second decade of implementation, research needs to examine social policy and program outcomes for both IDA participants and their communities. This pilot study examined the asset retention rate of 85 graduates from three Arkansas IDA programs; the relationship between household assets and economic strain, self-efficacy, and future orientation; and whethe…
Welfare Reform in Persistent Rural Poverty: Dreams, Disenchantments, and Diversity
Joining an Asset Building Program: The Social and Economic Correlates
United States anti-poverty efforts traditionally consist of income-based, means-tested policies while wealth promotion generally involves tax code initiatives. Long-established beliefs that underserved populations cannot save money have resulted in exclusionary asset building policies for the poor. Minimal changes in pre-transfer poverty rates have led social workers to examine alternative anti-poverty solutions. This study examined the effects o…
An Evidenced-Based Approach to a Theoretical Understanding of the Relationship Between Economic Resources, Race/Ethnicity, and Woman Abuse
Within the context of advocating for evidence-based practice in the field of social work, the need also exists to test or systematically review studies that support or refute theories used in social work practice. The purpose of this paper is to present a systematic review of domestic and international studies that examine the relationship between economic resources, race and ethnicity, and woman abuse. Findings of these studies are connected to …
Economic Resources and Woman Abuse: Differences and Similarities Among African American, Hispanic, and White Women
Secondary data analyses of the 1999 National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) were conducted to examine relationships between economic resources and woman abuse among subsamples of African American, Hispanic and White women. Logistic analyses indicated that associations vary, not only along racial and ethnic lines, but also by type of woman abuse. None of the economic resources were associated with woman abuse for the Hispanic women. Employment …
Savings Experiences Past and Present: Narratives From Low-Income African American Women
Research has found that low-income individuals can and do save when institutional supports are in place; however, little structured data are available on how and why they manage to save. This article presents a study of the long-term savings experiences of 9 low-income African American women who were participating in an Individual Development Account (IDA) savings program in a city in North Carolina. The results indicated that despite many marker…
Designing Policies that Address the Relationship Between Woman Abuse and Economic Resources
Given the disproportionate and increasing number of impoverished women, and poor women's increased vulnerability to woman abuse, it is crucial we examine economic policies in regards to their equity and adequacy for abused women. Current policies and programs designed to address the economic resources/needs of abused women are analyzed. Limitations in current policies are addressed, and a recommendation is made for the formation and implementatio…
An Analysis of the Assets for Independence Act of 1998 for Abused Women
The abuse of women in the United States is a complex social problem that has also been interwoven with a history of their impoverishment. Although advocates have called for an increase in resources that would help with abused women's short-term economic stability, they have largely ignored the issue of formulating policy that would assist with asset accumulation as a means of obtaining long-term economic security. In an attempt to address this ne…
