abstract: 'An increasing proportion of low-income single mothers are experiencing

  periods of economic disconnection, defined as receiving no cash income

  from welfare or work. Most research on disconnection has focused on

  personal attributes as risk factors for experiencing disconnection at a

  static point in time. This study adopts a dynamic perspective and

  broadens the existing set of determinants by adding regional

  socioeconomic characteristics to explain changes in status. Results from

  multivariate survival analyses demonstrate that residence in a

  disadvantaged county is associated with an increased risk of becoming

  disconnected. State-level policies, as opposed to county socioeconomic

  characteristics, have stronger influences on movements out of

  disconnection. The findings from the analyses provide a base for policy

  discussions about helping this vulnerable population.'
