Abstract
Knowledge about factors that determine the decision whether to work or not is vital to the planning and delivery of effective services that aim at maximizing the voluntary employment of AFDC mothers. The current study shows that the employment of AFDC mothers is facilitated by higher wages, belief in selfsupport, a belief that work pays, more education, having older children who are in school, and not having children with special needs. These findings are used to predict the effects of using social services interventions designed to change these variables. It is shown that the presence of young children reduces the effectiveness of services that change other variables.
