Abstract

In the 1990s, the US safety net was substantially reformed. We ask how those reforms collectively affected early-career outcomes among youths who were teens when the reforms took effect. We consider employment, safety-net participation, marriage, and childbearing between the ages of 18 and 32. We take a difference-in-difference approach, tracking adolescents from two generations roughly 20 years apart. In each generation, we compare two groups, one of which was more likely to have been affected by safety-net reform than the other. We find evidence that safety-net reform increased women’s labor supply and decreased marriage.

安全网改革如何影响低收入家庭青少年的早期成年？

20世纪90年代，美国的安全网进行了实质性改革。我们想知道，当改革生效时，这些改革是如何共同影响青少年早期职业生涯的结果的。我们考虑了18岁至32岁之间的就业、安全网参与、婚姻和生育。我们采用差异中的方法，跟踪大约相隔20岁的两代青少年。在每一代人中，我们比较两个群体，其中一个群体比另一个群体更有可能受到安全网改革的影响。我们发现有证据表明，安全网改革增加了妇女的劳动力供应，减少了婚姻。

期刊介绍： The goal of the National Tax Journal (NTJ) is to encourage and disseminate high quality original research on governmental tax and expenditure policies. Articles published in the regular March, June and September issues of the journal, as well as articles accepted for publication in special issues of the journal, are subject to professional peer review and include economic, theoretical, and empirical analyses of tax and expenditure issues with an emphasis on policy implications. The NTJ has been published quarterly since 1948 under the auspices of the National Tax Association (NTA). Most issues include an NTJ Forum, which consists of invited papers by leading scholars that examine in depth a single current tax or expenditure policy issue. The December issue is devoted to publishing papers presented at the NTA’s annual Spring Symposium; the articles in the December issue generally are not subject to peer review.
