Exiting from Welfare: A Life-Table Analysis

Abstract

Based on a sample of 2,796 households participating in the AFDC, Food Stamp, and Medicaid programs from 1980 to 1983, patterns of exiting from welfare are examined for female heads with children, married couples, singles, and the elderly. Results indicate that the longer a household remains on welfare, the less likely they are to exit. Second, most households beginning a spell of welfare remain on for a relatively short amount of time. And, finally, the patterns of welfare utilization clearly differ across household categories.
