Abstract | The hearings reported in this document focused on the need to reform the welfare system and the effects those reforms could have on welfare recipients. Issues addressed by the subcommittee members and the witnesses were the following: (1) why do one-fifth of the nation's children live in poverty in spite of welfare programs; (2) can the demonstration projects, such as workfare, gain widespread acceptance and success; (3) can health benefits improve and continue for those who move from the welfare rolls into jobs; (4) can a minimum standard of living be assured, especially in the wake of housing shortages; (5) how will self-sufficiency be achieved by dropouts and teenage parents; (6) can adequate child care services be assured; (7) how can the chronically unemployed people be motivated; (8) what will prevent inflation from recreating the present welfare situation; (9) what methods can be used to motivate the business sector to aid in this effort; (10) what can be done to enforce laws which assure equal access to jobs and education; and (11) what models are useful in preventing poverty in future generations.
