Lehman, Jeffrey, and Sheldon Danziger, 'Turning Our Backs on the New Deal: The End of Welfare in 1996', in C. Henry (ed.), Race, Poverty, and Domestic Policy (New Haven, CT , 2004; online edn, Yale Scholarship Online, 31 Oct. 2013), https://doi.org/10.12987/yale/9780300095418.003.0029, accessed 24 Apr. 2024.
Abstract
This chapter focuses on the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), characterized as a regressive step that compromises the basic right of a safety net because employment opportunities are not available to most welfare recipients. The chapter focuses the changes brought about by PRWORA and the economic context and welfare reform. PRWORA totally abolished Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), replacing it with a system of block grants to state governments.
