Isi artikel

Welfare reform has generally denied poor women access to effective education and training that could lead to economic independence. Instead, a work-first approach prevails. As the public safety net is removed and education and training are not provided, welfare reform reinforces the economic and social status quo. This article addresses barriers to education and training along a continuum of possible educational opportunities and argues that education and skills training for low-income women, especially poor women of color, are moral and economic imperatives. Current affirmative action successes can provide guidance for increasing access to education and training for poor women.
