abstract: 'As welfare-to-work reforms increase women labor market attachment, the
lives of their young children are likely to change. This note draws on a
random-assignment experiment in Connecticut to ask whether mothers''
rising employment levels and program participation are associated with
changes in young children early learning and cognitive growth. Children
of mothers who entered Connecticut''s Jobs First program, an initiative
with strict 21-month time limits and work incentives, displayed moderate
advantages in their early learning, compared with those in a control
group. A number of potential mechanisms for this effect are explored,
including maternal employment and income, home environment, and child
care. Mothers in the new welfare program are more likely to be employed,
have higher income, are less likely to be mar-tied, have more children
books in their home, and take their children to libraries and museums
more frequently. However, these effects explain little of the observed
gain in child outcomes. Other parenting practices and the home social
environment do explain early learning, but these remained unaffected by
welfare reform. (C) 2003 by the Association for Public Policy Analysis
and Management.'
