Peer reviewedGleason, Philip; Rangarajan, Anu; Schochet, Peter – Journal of Human Resources, 1998
A study of 2325 inner-city teenage mothers receiving Aid to Families with Dependent Children for the first time found they have longer welfare spells and higher recidivism rates than other groups of female welfare recipients. Those with higher skills are more likely to find work and less likely to return to welfare. (SK)
