abstract: 'The ability of welfare-to-work clients to leave the welfare rolls and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
stay in the labor force is often limited by the work barriers they face.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using a sample of 1,404 female welfare-to-work clients we first examined
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the structure of work barriers and then tested their contribution to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
current work status in the context of a structural equation model that
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
incorporated other central pathways to employment. Whereas work barriers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
included diverse factors ranging from lack of transportation to low
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
quality jobs, they were shown to constitute a uni-dimensional construct.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Furthermore, work barriers had a net adverse effect on employment
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
outcomes, controlling for job search self-efficacy and employment
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
intention. We conclude with discussion of implications for the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
development of welfare-to-work programs and interventions that target
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
low-income women.'
