Abstract
ABSTRACTIn the wake of welfare reform and the Great Recession, the number of disconnected families – those without earnings and not receiving cash assistance through Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), general assistance (GA), unemployment insurance (UI), or Social Security – has increased. Using the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), this paper examines disconnection by sex from 2001 to 2011. Discrete-time hazard models reveal sex differences in disconnection. Young men with less labor market experience and single mothers heading households are the most vulnerable to disconnection, suggesting that different policy levers are necessary to reduce disconnection for men and women.
