關於child care和wage earning這個dilemma本身關注點到位,但覺得把這個大問題歸咎於welfare reform這樣的一小點不完全妥當。並且Welfare作為最低保障,本身就應設有很多不足,比如工作地點時間不如意等等,這樣纔會有脫離低保的動力吧。
評分A critical look at the welfare system in America today, with the history laid out. A fairly informative read. The writing itself was a bit too biased and even depressing.

"Both Hands Tied" studies the working poor in the United States, focusing in particular on the relation between welfare and low-wage earnings among working mothers. Grounded in the experience of thirty-three women living in Milwaukee and Racine, Wisconsin, it tells the story of their struggle to balance child care and wage-earning in poorly paying and often state-funded jobs with inflexible schedules - and the moments when these jobs failed them and they turned to the state for additional aid. Jane L. Collins and Victoria Mayer here examine the situations of these women in light of the 1996 national Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act and other like-minded reforms - laws that ended the entitlement to welfare for those in need and provided an incentive for them to return to work. Arguing that this reform came at a time of gendered change in the labor force and profound shifts in the responsibilities of family, firms, and the state, "Both Hands Tied" provides a stark but poignant portrait of how welfare reform afflicted poor, single-parent families, ultimately eroding the participants' economic rights and affecting their ability to care for themselves and their children.
