Abstract
Welfare programs often attempt to reduce their welfare rolls by pushing
recipients into immediate employment, while others provide education and
training to people before expecting them to re-enter the job market. In some
states, such as California, counties are allowed flexibility in the
implementation of welfare programs. This allows the counties to choose to
focus on immediate job placement, educating recipients, or a combination of
the two.
This study examines three different implementation strategies of California's
Greater Avenues for Independence Program (GAIN) in order to determine if
the county which focused heavily on educating GAIN participants was most
successful in reducing its welfare roll.
