abstract: 'Objectives. Although employment among welfare mothers increased
substantially following the 1996 welfare reform, some former welfare
recipients failed to find stable employment. We review the extent to
which low-income mothers are without work and cash welfare for long
periods of time and seek to understand the correlates of becoming
chronically disconnected. Methods. We analyze data from a 1997-2003
panel study of single mothers who received cash welfare in an urban
county in Michigan in February 1997. We develop a new measure of the
extent to which former recipients are ``chronically disconnected{''''}
from both employment and cash welfare and estimate regression models of
the correlates of this economic outcome. Results. About 9 percent of
respondents became chronically disconnected, defined as being without
employment and cash welfare during at least one-quarter of the months
during the 79-month study period. Important correlates of becoming
chronically disconnected include having a physical limitation, having a
learning disability, using illegal drugs or meeting the diagnostic
screening criteria for alcohol dependence, and having no car or driver
license. The chronically disconnected are more likely to have lost a job
than to have lost welfare benefits and are more economically
disadvantaged than those with regular sources of economic support.
Conclusions. To reduce the number of women who fail to make a successful
transition from welfare to work, more attention should be given to
programs and policies that attempt to reconnect disconnected women to
regular sources of economic support.'
