摘要：This study is to explore the changes in net disposable income for low-income single-mother families before and after the 1996 welfare reform in the USA. Even though there are many studies have made on welfare reform but it all have focused on employment or the total family income as a way to measure low-income single-mother families’ economic well-being little is known about their net income after expenses related to entering the workforce. Participation conducted by the US Census Bureau. The results revealed that while low-income single mothers were working more after welfare reform, their net disposable income decreased during this time because their earnings were low and offset by an increase in childcare costs and a decline in means-tested benefits, including Temporary Assistance for Needy Families benefits.
