Poverty and social exclusion in Britain: The millennium survey
When Welfare-to-Work Programs Seem to Work Well: Explaining Why Riverside and Portland Shine So Brightly
Of welfare-to-work programs evaluated by random assignment, two stand out as having exceptionally large estimated effects: one in Riverside, California, and the other in Portland, Oregon. The authors use data from 24 evaluations and the tools of meta-analysis to examine why. The findings indicate that the apparently superior performance of these two programs in increasing the earnings of participants is only partly attributable to program design …
Meta-Evaluation: Discovering What Works Best in Welfare Provision
Numerous programmes designed to encourage welfare recipients to move into work and off benefit have been evaluated in the United States. Many have randomly assigned potential participants into ‘experimental’ and ‘control’ groups to generate unbiased estimates of the effectiveness of the programmes. The results of the evaluations have been selectively influential in shaping policy developments on both sides of the Atlantic, but a thorough understa…

Patterns of Childhood Poverty: New Challenges for Policy
Poverty takes many forms. Using data from the U.S. Panel Study of Income Dynamics, this article (1) distinguishes different kinds of childhood poverty, defined in terms of the spacing, severity, and duration of spells; and (2) establishes the extent and distribution of childhood poverty, employing new measures that take into account both duration and severity. Some strategies for targeting assistance on particular forms of poverty are briefly con…
A New Approach To Poverty Dynamics
Une nouvel approach au dynamique de la pauvreté Une nouvelle approche de la dynamique de la pauvreté. Les études sur la pauvreté qui utilisent des données issues d'un panel ont du tenir compte du problème des périodes dissimulées (cette dissimulation se présente quand une période de pauvreté commence ou finit en dehors de la période d'observation du panel). La solution technique qui consiste à mélanger astucieusement simulation et analyse d'histo…
