Article Abstract:
An analysis of single mothers' use of public and private external support using data from National Longitudinal Survey of Youth reveals that the parents discourage their daughters' participation in Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), the wage rates of single mothers and the abundant child support promote leaving welfare programs, high income single mothers demand kin support and the government support blocks kin contributions to their daughters and grandchildren. The AFDC should focus on assistance forms than the level of benefits.
