Description

With the enactment of the Family Support Act of 1988, every state is now required to implement a workfare program. Workfare is designed to supplement and ultimately replace welfare with job training programs. Nathan examines the roles of job training, job placement, education, and child care services as a route to transforming welfare payment programs into systems that stress jobs and services for welfare families.
