RealWorldGraduation_Question_94_Benefits_of_Welfare <– PDF
In the 1960’s the federal government instituted a program of assisting young women who had illegitimate children. This aid came in the form of cash payments, housing at low rents, and assistance for food and medicine via government-issued stamps that could be used as cash for most grocery and medical items. In what ways were these programs beneficial to the recipient?
a) It allowed the young women to provide for their children in a safe and secure environment, without the violations of privacy and crowding that would prevail if she had continued to live with her parents.
b) It allowed them sufficient spare time to pursue education or other career training.
c) It allowed them to live independently, and although they were initially poor, they would eventually be able to rise to the middle class.
d) It provided them with an additional income if she chose to get married, even if her husband was working.
e) All of the above.
