A New Path from Welfare to Work, The New Welfare and the Potential for Workforce Development
Oren M. Levin-Waldman
Economics Public Policy Brief Archive from Levy Economics Institute
Abstract:
Levin-Waldman asks why welfare, workforce development, and unemployment insurance are operated as separate entities. If the goal of the new welfare law is to end dependency and foster a work ethic, then it needs to be tied more closely to existing policy aimed at developing the workforce. Instead of viewing the new welfare system as welfare policy with a new flexibility, we should see it as an opportunity to create a more comprehensive and coherent employment program to replace outmoded public assistance.
