摘要：The 1996 welfare reform act has refocused our attention on the factors that could help or hinder exit from welfare. Researchers have examined a number of factors but have placed little attention on social capital. This study examines the effects of social capital on the likelihood of welfare use and exit among single women. The study is based on single women using data from the Making Connections database. Results indicate that social capital is related to welfare use and exit. Policy implications of these findings are discussed.
