abstract: 'This article assesses the extent to which welfare states reduce poverty
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
among single mothers and all mothers. I focus on two different
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
typologies of welfare states: one identifies the gendered assumptions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
underlying social policies, while the other focuses on bow welfare
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
states and labor markets affect class inequality. Using data from the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Luxembourg Income Study, I show bow tax and transfer systems and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment supports in nine Western nations affect the poverty rates of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
single mothers and all mothers vis-a-vis other groups. I find that,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
particularly in the Scandinavian nations and to a lesser extent in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
France, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, the tax and transfer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
system, employment supports, or a combination of the two allow most
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
single mothers to form autonomous households that escape poverty. I
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conclude by discussing bow these findings speak to the different
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
typologies of welfare state regimes.'
