TANF Participation Rates: Do Community Conditions Matter?
Parisi, Domenico; McLaughlin, Diane K.; Grice, Steven Michael; Taquino, Michael; Gill, Duane A.
Rural Sociology, v68 n4 p491-512 Dec 2003
Single mothers' participation rates in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) in rural Mississippi were influenced by community-level characteristics: educational attainment, racial composition, employment structure, civic engagement, and spatial concentration of poverty. Particularly, TANF participation rates were higher in the Delta and in communities with higher concentrations of African Americans and poor people, less faith-based activity, and more retail employment. Contains 80 references. (SV)
