Flat Broke with Children: Women in the Age of Welfare Reform

The book I chose to write this paper was a flat bankruptcy with the children of Sharon Hayes: a woman in the era of welfare reform. In this book, the author focuses on the welfare reform law in 1996, the personal responsibility in 1996 and the settlement method of work opportunities. She studied the positive and negative impact this bill has on the poor, and the impact it will have on the whole society. In her study, she spent over 600 hours at the welfare office, talking with case workers, social workers, welfare recipients, and potential recipients.

& Lt; Tab / & gt; Sharon Hays discusses a suitable measure of the success of welfare reform within her book "Flat Broke With Children" (2003). Her work is trying to talk about welfare reform from the viewpoint of people living together. The staff of the social welfare office will mainly help single mothers to maintain their lives during child rearing. At the beginning of the book, Hayes wrote that "the law of the country reflects the values ​​of the country" (Hayes, page 3). Her book explains that we are deeply confused as a country's values. On the one hand, Hayes thinks that the government's commitment to 'family values' directly conflict with the current state of society, but the welfare law considers that poor people do not have good professional ethics. This hypothesis has led to a series of initiatives to effectively kick out young single mothers (away from their children) from their homes and drive them to low-wage jobs.

Welfare reform or distortion of welfare? Historically, most of the so-called "welfare reform" regulation has made life more difficult for poor children and their families. The latest welfare change plan "Temporary aid for poor households" (TANF) P. L. 104-193 is the latest attempt to reform welfare. It imposes a two-year deadline on poor families. Two years later, many poor families (primarily single mothers) have lost their safety nets and they were declared that there is no homeless and / or diet therapy in the United States.
