title: Changing welfare as we know it: some thoughts about the impact on children.
abstract: The new federal welfare legislation eliminates an entitlement to benefits or services for different groups of recipients. A review is provided of some of the legislative provisions and their consequences, with particular concern for the impact on children. The availability and use of child care arrangements for working parents illustrates the complexity of "transforming welfare as we know it."
