Mobility from Part-Time to Full-Time Employment Among Kentucky Welfare Leavers
In this article we analyze mobility from part-time to fulltime employment among a panel of welfare leavers in Kentucky from 1998 to 2001. Using discrete-time hazard analysis, the study tests human capital, situational, and structural variables to determine which factors explain mobility. Among all panel participants, those who acquired full-time employment were more likely to reside outside Appalachia, to be high school graduates, to have had som…
Predictors of Access to Health‐Care Services among Groups of Tanf Recipients in Kentucky
This work reports on determinants of health‐care access among welfare recipients in Kentucky, focusing on predisposing, enabling, and need factors. A multivariate model is used to identify the clients who are most likely to experience access problems. The model is tested with a full sample, a subgroup of respondents who voluntarily left welfare before reaching the federal time limit, and a group that had reached the time limit. Results suggest th…
Self‐Sufficiency, Ecology of Work, and Welfare Reform
The 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunities Reconciliation Act specifies self‐sufficiency as the goal of welfare reform.

This approach highlights limitations of the contemporary use of t…

Granted federal waivers, the program established a primary care network with capitation payment and physician sharing of savings. Interviews were conducted with 300 recipients just prior to the program and with 348 recipients 1 year later. No changes occurred in the rate of hospi…
