Moving from Welfare to Work: A Snapshot Survey of Illinois Families.

Smith, Elizabeth C.

Child Welfare, v74 n6 p1091-1106 Nov-Dec 1995

Surveyed 207 parents who were using the Transitional Child Care subsidy 6 months after leaving welfare to examine their characteristics and demographics and illustrate the life circumstances they faced. Findings suggest that income, erratic schedules, and ages of children contribute to the complexities parents face in accessing and using child day care. (MDM)
