Governing Children, Families and Education: Restructuring the Welfare State

Marianne Bloch, Thomas Popkewitz, Kerstin Holmlund, Ingeborg Moqvist, editors. 2003. 304 pp.

Global reforms in welfare state provisions entail changes in family and school responsibilities, governmental responsibilities about who should care for and educate children, and the images and narratives of what the family and child are and should be. In Governing Children, Families and Education, an international, interdisciplinary group of social scientists and historians explore the politics of these changing patterns in this groundbreaking book at two levels: structural examinations of the (re)distribution of power as it relates to class, gender, and race; and the mentalities that govern the relation of the private or public responsibilities of families and the child in care of the state and schools.

Human Capital in the United States from 1975 to 2000: Patterns of Growth and Utilization

Robert H. Haveman, Andrew Bershadker, and Jonathan A. Schwabisch. 2003. 229 pp.

This study enhances the existing measures of the nation’s human capital and the extent to which that capital is utilized. Haveman, Bershadker, and Schwabish develop an indicator of the value of the human capital stock held by the nation’s working-age population called Earnings Capacity (EC), and use it to study the time trends in aggregate human capital in the United States and human capital per worker. They also use EC to evaluate utilization of the nation’s human capital stock, exploring these patterns for the entire working-age population as well as for at-risk subgroups distinguished by race, schooling, and age in order to highlight the social and public policy relevance of the EC indicator. Their empirical results provide insights into the performance of the U.S. economy over the past three decades, and supplement other analyses of this performance.

Poor Kids in a Rich Country: America's Children in Comparative Perspective

Lee Rainwater and Timothy M Smeeding. 2003. 263 pages.

Based on the data available from the transnational Luxembourg Income Study (LIS), Poor Kids in a Rich Country puts child poverty in the United States in an international context. Rainwater and Smeeding find that while the child poverty rate in most countries has been relatively stable over the past 30 years, child poverty has increased markedly in the United States and Britain. The book discusses the underlying reasons for this difference, examining the mix of earnings and government transfers, such as child allowances, sickness and maternity benefits, unemployment insurance, and other social assistance programs that go into the income packages available to both single- and dual-parent families in each country.

Race and the Politics of Welfare Reform

Sanford S. Schram, Joe Soss, and Richard C. Fording, editors. 2003. 392 pages.

Race and the Politics of Welfare Reform is about race in the United States and its distinctive effects on contemporary welfare politics. Over the last three decades, an impressive body of scholarship has brought the interplay of race and poverty politics into sharper focus. By bringing together diverse scholars with overlapping, substantive concerns, the book aims to present an integrated understanding of how race has shaped the past and present of U.S. social policy. Contributors consider the historical processes and the racial roots of contemporary welfare dilemmas; racial biases in the ways welfare is reported in the mass media and evaluated by the public at large; the racial dynamics of welfare policy discourse; racial bias in state welfare policy choices and implementation; and the intersection of race and social policy developments beyond "welfare reform."

Visions of Poverty: Welfare Policy and Political Imagination

Robert Asen. 2002. 325 pages.

Any future policy agenda that seeks to improve the lives of the poor must first come to terms with the images of poverty that shaped the debates over welfare culminating in the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. In Visions of Poverty, Robert Asen traces the rhetoric of the poverty debate from the War on Poverty through the 1996 reforms-the "era of retrenchment" in welfare policy, as he describes it. Robert Asen is Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Arts at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Understanding Poverty

Sheldon H. Danziger and Robert H. Haveman, editors. 2002. 576 pages.

Looking back over the past four decades, the authors tell us how the poor have fared in the market economy and what government programs have accomplished and failed to accomplish. They assess the proggress we have made in understanding poverty, draw the policy implications, and present their judgments regarding issues for future research. This is the fourth volume reviewing poverty trends and policies that has been sponsored by IRP; earlier volumes appeared in 1975, 1977, 1986, and 1994 (see Confronting Poverty, below, and Older Titles List).

The chapters in this volume were originally presented at a 2000 conference at the Institute for Research on Poverty in Madison, Wisconsin. Sheldon Danziger is Henry J. Meyer Collegiate Professor of Social Work and Public Policy, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Robert H. Haveman is John Bascom Professor of Economics and Public Affairs, University of Wisconsin at Madison.

Out of Wedlock: Causes and Consequences of Nonmarital Fertility

Lawrence L. Wu and Barbara Wolfe, editors. 2001. 436 pages.

Out-of-wedlock childbirth was a major target of the welfare reforms of 1996. Convinced that the steady rise in the number of children born to unmarried mothers was a consequence of previous welfare policies, the framers of the act mandated that states act to reduce these numbers and provided for financial incentives to do so. But the trend in nonmarital birth contains a number of puzzles; by the time the act passed, for example, the rise in extramarital births had already leveled off, although one out of three births is still to an unmarried mother. These conflicting trends give rise to a host of vexing theoretical, methodological, and empirical issues that are explored in this volume. For example, how do trends in nonmarital childbearing vary by race, ethnicity, and age? Are these patterns peculiar to the United States, or rooted in more widespread social phenomena? How many nonmarital births are to cohabiting couples, and how stable are cohabiting relationships? What do we know about the fathers of children born outside marriage?

The chapters in this volume were originally presented at a 1999 conference at the Institute for Research on Poverty in Madison, Wisconsin. Its goals were to provide a forum in which sociologists, demographers, and economists could jointly review the state of basic research on nonmarital fertility and to provide objective information and analysis relevant to public and policy discussions of the issue.

Child Support: The Next Frontier

J. Thomas Oldham and Marygold S. Melli, editors. 2000. 248 pages.

There has been a revolution in child support law in the last half-century, fueled by escalating numbers of divorces and children born to unmarried parents. Reforms have moved the child support system from one of minimal effort, based on the assumption that children in single-arent households would be supported by their custodial parents or by government welfare, to a formula-based system for calculating child support and an aggressive enforcement program to collect that support from the noncustodial parent.

This collection of essays examines the state of child support policy.The essays range from a review of child support history, with a focus on the changing mores of parental responsibility, to empirical studies of whether increased establishment of paternity and child support enforcement results in more father-child contacts, to how child support affects fathers and whether the support obligation impoverishes noncustodial fathers.

Sidewalk

Mitchell Duneier, with photographs by Ovie Carter. 1999. 384 pp.

In Sidewalk, Mitchell Duneier explores the lives of poor black men who make their living on the sidewalks of Greenwich Village, New York, selling secondhand goods, panhandling, and scavenging books and magazines left out for recycling. In recent years these men have become targets of "quality of life" campaigns in cities nationwide, seen as proof of the influential "broken windows" theory, which holds that the appearance of social disorder leads to crime.

Duneier contends that the men are, instead, necessary and beneficial to city life today. For five years, he spent time on the blocks with them, working at their vending tables, hearing their stories, and observing the roles they play in the life of the city. He shows us not only their common human values but the many practical and moral choices they must make every day, conveying the character of urban life in all its complexity, its class and race conflicts, and the surprising opportunities it offers for empathy among strangers.

Mitchell Duneier is Associate Professor of Sociology and Affiliate, Institute for Research on Poverty, the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Economic Conditions and Welfare Reform

Sheldon H. Danziger, editor. 1999. 345 pp.

This new book addresses three critical questions arising from the federal and state welfare reforms of the past five years: (1) Why are welfare caseloads falling? (2) How are welfare recipients faring? (3) How are the states responding?

The first four chapters, analyzing trends in welfare caseloads, explore how much of the caseload changes -- increases in the late 1980s and early 1990s, followed by decreases -- can be attributed to macroeconomic conditions, and how much to welfare policy changes. Two chapters focus on the labor market, first on work and earnings outcomes for recipients and then on employers' willingness to hire welfare recipients. The last three chapters focus upon what states are doing and how they are likely to respond when a recession comes.

High Stakes: Testing for Tracking, Promotion, and Graduation

Jay P. Heubert and Robert M. Hauser, editors. 1999. 350 pp.

As more and more tests are introduced into U.S. schools, it becomes increasingly important to know how those tests are used in assessing children's performance and achievements. High Stakes examines common misuses of tests, their political and social context, what happens when test issues are taken to court, special student populations, social promotion, and more.

High Stakes is a report of the Committee on Appropriate Test Use of the Board on Testing and Assessment, National Research Council.

Fathers Under Fire: The Revolution in Child Support Enforcement

Irwin Garfinkel, Sara S. McLanahan, Daniel R. Meyer, and Judith A. Seltzer, editors. 1998. 369 pp.

Much of the uncertainty surrounding child support policies has stemmed from a lack of hard data on nonresident fathers. Fathers under Fire presents a full body of information on the financial and social circumstances of these men. Social scientists and legal scholars explore the underlying issues of child support and the potential risks and benefits of stronger enforcement policies.

Toward an End to Hunger in America

Peter K. Eisinger. 1998. 192 pp.

In these prosperous times, national data show that almost 12 percent of American households either suffer from hunger or worry about going hungry, despite the existence of large public and private food assistance programs. In this book, Eisinger seeks to unravel the puzzle. He searches for a meaningful definition of hunger and examines the structure and funding of government food assistance programs, the roles of Congress and community interest groups, and the contributions of volunteer organizations. Believing that hunger is one social problem that can be solved, he offers ideas to reduce its incidence, based on creating stronger partnerships between public and private food programs.

Indicators of Children's Well-Being

Robert M. Hauser, Brett V. Brown, and William Prosser, editors. 1997. 640 pp.

Indicators of Children's Well-Being is an inquiry into current efforts to monitor children from the prenatal period through adolescence. Experts from multiple disciplines assess how data on physical development, education, economic security, family and neighborhood conditions, and social behavior are collected and analyzed, what findings they reveal, and what improvements are needed to create a more comprehensive and policy-relevant system of measurement.

Essays on children's material well-being show why income data must be supplemented with assessments of housing, medical care, household expenditure, food consumption, and education. Other contributors urge refinements to existing survey instruments such as the Census and the Current Population Survey. The usefulness of records from human service agencies, child welfare records, and juvenile court statistics is also evaluated.

Confronting Poverty: Prescriptions for Change

Edited by Sheldon H. Danziger, Gary D. Sandefur, and Daniel H. Weinberg. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1994. 529 pp.

Confronting Poverty reviews three decades of research on the nature, causes, and consequences of poverty, and proposes an antipoverty agenda for the next decade.

The authors document trends in poverty and income inequality, review government programs and policies, and analyze the public's complicated attitudes concerning these policies. They discuss the persistence and intergenerational transmission of poverty, the extent of welfare dependence, and the emergence of an urban underclass. They suggest thoughtful reforms in employment and training, child support, health care, education, welfare, immigration, and urban policies, all crafted from the successes, as well as the failures, of the last thirty years.

"Confronting Poverty includes some of the most thoughtful essays ever written on poverty and public policy." --William Julius Wilson, University of Chicago

Succeeding Generations: On the Effects of Investment in Children

Robert H. Haveman and Barbara L. Wolfe. 1994. 331 pp.

By any historical or comparative standard, children in the United States today face a high probability of being born to an unwed mother and of living with a single parent. Do such childhood experiences matter? IRP affiliates Haveman and Wolfe present convincing evidence that the nurture that children receive plays a significant role in how they fare as young adults. Exploring the economic, family, and neighborhood determinants of success, they view children as human capital, whose ultimate accomplishments (or lack thereof) depend upon investment choices made by society, by the families in which the children live, and by the children themselves as they mature.

Growing Up with a Single Parent: What Hurts, What Helps

Sara McLanahan and Gary Sandefur. 1994. 196 pp.

What are the chances that the child of a single parent will graduate from high school, go on to college, find and keep a job? These are the questions the authors pursue across the spectrum of race, gender, and class. Children whose parents live apart, the authors find, are twice as likely to drop out of high school as those in two-parent families, one and a half times as likely to be idle in young adulthood, twice as likely to become single parents themselves. Yet living with a single parent does not doom a child to failure; many children from one-parent families grow up to become productive adults. What do we know about the sources of these different outcomes? How can we rethink current policies to improve the odds for children in single-parent families?

Growing Up with a Single Parent was named a finalist in the Current Interest Section of the Los Angeles Times Book Prizes for 1995 and is the winner of the American Sociological Association's William J. Goode Award for the best publication on families.

"A must read for concerned parents and policymakers. . . . In addition to presenting compelling evidence about the challenges single parents and their children face, the authors include solid recommendations on ways to truly help children" --Sen. Jay Rockefeller
