It is almost 15 years since repeal of what was the nation's major cash welfare program assisting low-income families with children, the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program, and its replacement with a block grant of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). This book focuses on trends in the economic well-being of female-headed families with children, the principal group affected by the replacement of AFDC with TANF.
