本研究考察了家庭上限政策和增强就业计划对 2100 名福利妇女生育能力的单独影响，这些妇女被随机分配到实验组和对照组，作为新泽西州福利改革计划的一部分。从 1992 年 12 月到 1997 年 3 月，每季度从福利和医疗补助索赔档案中收集有关出生、堕胎、避孕药使用和避孕绝育的数据。结果表明，家庭上限降低了出生率，增加了堕胎和避孕措施的使用，但仅限于短期福利使用者的女性。就业机会的增加对长期接受者的生育能力产生独立影响。
This study examines the unbundled impacts of a family cap policy and enhanced JOBS program on the fertility of 2100 women on welfare who were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups as part of New Jersey's welfare reform program. Data were collected quarterly from December 1992 through March 1997 on births, abortions, contraceptive pill use, and contraceptive sterilizations from welfare and Medicaid claim files. Results indicate that the family cap lowered births and increased abortions and contraception use but only for women who were short-time welfare users. Enhanced JOBS exerted an independent effect on fertility of more chronic recipients.
