Differentials in the incidence of births while on welfare: Evidence from Maryland

Article Abstract:

The welfare debate in Maryland centers on births while on public assistance. Differentials in the incidence of births while on welfare were studied using Quality Control data for the 1991-1992 period. The results show that around one-quarter of recipient children were born on welfare and that there were higher rates of such births amongst young mothers with less than high-school education, who had never married, and were Baltimore residents.
