abstract: 'We examined in this study the implications of divorce for mothers''
|
|
|
|
earnings, comparing the 1990s and the 2000s, and illuminating
|
|
|
|
developments in welfare policy for single-parent families over those two
|
|
|
|
decades. After the welfare reform of 2003, the economic autonomy of
|
|
|
|
single mothers, established through a combination of welfare state-based
|
|
|
|
benefits and paid labour, was delegitimised, with a turn toward the
|
|
|
|
marketplace. Using a unique data set created for this research by
|
|
|
|
merging Israeli census files for 1995-2008, annual administrative
|
|
|
|
employment records from the National Insurance Institute and the Tax
|
|
|
|
Authority, and data from the Civil Registry of Divorce, we found that
|
|
|
|
most mothers tended to increase their income from paid labor following
|
|
|
|
divorce. However, they did so significantly more prior to the welfare
|
|
|
|
cuts than after the cuts. The results can inform policy discussions
|
|
|
|
about how mothers'' postdivorce earnings might be affected by welfare
|
|
|
|
policy shifts.'
