Danes love sharing, caring and communal singing, Auld Lang Syne, 99 bottles of Carlsberg, and public welfare for all. This sounds too good to be true - and it is. Like every great fairy tale, the model welfare state has a dark side. Carsten Jensen, tax-funded welfare authority at Aarhus University, reveals its soft underbelly, warts and all. Danes love public welfare services, and many would pay even higher taxes to get more - but only more of the services they use. And those who don't subscribe to the good life, middle-class style? The answer is blowing in the wind

THE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND WORK OPPORTUNITY RECONCILIATION ACT (PRWORA) OF 1996 IS THE MOST AGGRESSIVE INVASION OF WOMEN'S RIGHTS IN THIS CENTURY. YET MOST FEMINISTS DID LITTLE TO OPPOSE ITS PASSAGE. IN FACT, MANY FEMINISTS ACTUALLY ENDORSED PRWORA'S CORE PRINCIPLES -- NAMELY, THAT POOR SINGLE MOTHERS SHOULD MOVE FROM WELFARE TO WORK AND INTO FINANCIAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR CHILDREN'S FATHERS. SUCH FEMINISTS COLLABORATED WITH WELFARE REFORMERS -- EITHER THROUGH SILENCE OR THROUGH THEIR DEEDS. ALL WHITE WOMEN IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE, INCLUDING FOUR DEMOCRATS WHO CALL THEMSELVES FEMINISTS, VOTED FOR THE NEW WELFARE LAW WHEN IT WAS INTRODUCED IN 1995. IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, 26 OF 31 DEMOCRATIC WOMEN VOTED FOR A WELFARE BILL THAT WOULD HAVE STRIPPED RECIPIENTS OF THEIR ENTITLEMENT TO WELFARE.
With welfare reform soundly launched and its effects already praised, it is time to examine its impact on former welfare recipients. A typology of adaptation to welfare—comprising dependency, supplementation, self-reliance, and autonomy—was developed based on former welfare recipients' financial status and employment status. An examination was also made of ways in which welfare recipients changed from more independent modes of adaptation (autonomy and self-reliance) to less independent modes (supplementation and dependency). Using longitudinal data extracted from a U. S. Department of Labor survey, event history analysis was applied to investigate changes in adaptation mode and factors contributing to these changes, among former welfare recipients across a period of 1 8 years. The investigation found that return to welfare was uncommon. Furthermore, the results show that nonpoor former recipients most often joined the ranks of the working poor because of welfare reform, ethnicity, education level, occupational skills, family income, housing subsidy, child care, and prior experience in welfare use. Some nonpoor former recipients who spent long spells in welfare returned to welfare because they suffered income reductions and needed food stamps. Working poor former recipients were likely to become nonpoor if they were married and had no need for child care or food stamps. Working poor White, single mothers with little work experience and little child support were likely to return to welfare and become further dependent on it.
