      ab: The Current Population Survey is used to examine the antipoverty effectiveness of child support, social insurance, and welfare among mother-only families in 1995.

A brief trend analysis shows that child support's antipoverty effectiveness has been growing. Some potential reasons why child support's effect is still so small in the face of substantial changes in child support policy are hypothesized. Reprinted by permission of the publisher.
