Does welfare play any role in female headship decisions?

Article Abstract:

The US welfare system does not encourage the existence of female-headed households for either whites or blacks. The study investigates how individual and state effects influence assessments of the effect of welfare benefits on decisions female-headed households. However, welfare program generosity is related to how the composition of population varies across states. Results of the study also show that an overstatement of the effect of welfare programs to family structure may have been made by earlier investigations.
