abstract: 'U.S. welfare reforms, whether promoting work first or human capital
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
development, have had in common an emphasis on employment as the key to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
improving the life chances of children living in single-mother families.
|
|
|
|

|
We describe in this article a different type of reform-a ``third way{''''}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in welfare reform. The welfare reforms carried out in the United Kingdom
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
since the ``New Labour{''''} government of Tony Blair was elected in 1997
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
have included promotion of paid work, but along side two other
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
components-an explicit commitment to reduce and eventually eliminate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
child poverty, and a campaign against long-term disadvantage under the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
label of tackling ``social exclusion.{''''} Welfare-to-work reforms
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
promoting employment for single mothers have been active but not as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
punitive as in the United States. At the same time, the tax credit and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cash benefit system has been radically overhauled, benefiting low-income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
families with children, whether or not parents are working. Early
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
indications suggest a more rapid fall in child poverty in the United
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Kingdom since its reforms began than in the United States since its
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reforms, and a faster rise in single-mother employment. (C) 2004 by the
