从福利到工作的主要政策方针试图通过提供求职援助和交通补贴，促进向劳动力的过渡。尽管这些政策帮助了一些妇女获得福利，但它们未能满足大多数妇女的需求，这些妇女不成比例地依赖社会联系来找工作，寻求最大限度地减少通勤，并且缺乏有助于她们进入区域劳动力市场的教育程度。本文采用深度访谈的方式，对弗朗西斯科92名领取福利金的妇女进行了访谈，并运用二项logit模型，研究了求职策略与就业特征之间的关系。研究结果表明，有孩子的低收入妇女比没有孩子的妇女更有可能依赖联系人，因为她们寻求离家近的工作。对于大多数女性来说，与雇主建立联系，改善人力资本，增加社区经济和社会活动的密度将使工作更容易获得。
The major policy approaches to welfare-to-work attempt to facilitate the transition into the workforce by providing job search assistance and transportation subsidies. Although these policies help some women on welfare, they fail to respond to the needs of most, who rely disproportionately on social contacts to find jobs, seek to minimize commutes, and lack the educational attainment that would help them penetrate the regional labor market. This article uses in-depth interviews with 92 women on welfare in San Francisco, as well as a binomial logit model, to examine the relationship between job search strategies and employment characteristics. The findings suggest that low-income women with children are more likely to rely on contacts than women without children, because they seek to work close to home. For most women, building connections to employers, improving human capital, and increasing the density of neighborhood economic and social activity will make jobs more accessible.
