Description

This Routledge academic study by Professor Kriesberg examines persistent myths surrounding poverty, welfare dependency, and single motherhood with rigorous evidence. The book challenges common misconceptions, including the belief that welfare dependency spans multiple generations, that children from single-parent families repeat patterns of marital disruption, that poor families actively seek public housing and assistance, or that unmarried mothers hold lower educational aspirations for their children compared to married parents. Drawing on substantial research, Kriesberg develops specific hypotheses to test these assumptions against real-world data. This scholarly work addresses major theoretical issues in family sociology and poverty studies, offering researchers, policymakers, and students a data-driven perspective on fatherless families and economic hardship. Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the complex realities behind welfare policy and family structure debates.

Key Features

Mothers in Poverty presents empirical evidence that directly refutes generational welfare dependency myths affecting public policy discussions.

Professor Kriesberg's research examines educational aspirations among unmarried mothers, comparing them systematically with expectations in married households.

The book develops and tests specific hypotheses about single-parent family outcomes, providing academic grounding for poverty and family studies.

Published by Routledge, this academic work combines major theoretical frameworks with empirical investigation of fatherless family economics and social outcomes.

Addresses misconceptions about public housing preference and assistance-seeking behaviour among poor families through evidence-based analysis.
