Do Temporary-Help Jobs Improve the Earnings of Unemployed Women? Wellesley Centers for Women
-
- 社会科学
Sari Kerr, Ph.D. Welfare-to-work programs are based on the principle that the best way out of welfare is to be placed in a job that will eventually provide stable employment and higher earnings. Using data on Detroit’s Work First program, Sari shows that the nature of the job placement (temporary-help versus direct-hire) during the program is a crucial determinant for the success of that strategy.
The lunchtime seminar series at the Wellesley Centers for Women offers residents and visitors to the Greater Boston Area the opportunity to hear in-person about the work by WCW researchers and program staff. Audio recordings like the following may not be reproduced without the explicit written permission of the original presenter; any cited references to the program must include the original presentation date, presenter’s name, and program title.
