本文利用8项随机分配研究的数据并采用元分析技术，提供了系统的证据，表明针对低收入父母的福利和工作政策对12至18岁青少年的一些学业成绩有很小的不利影响。这些不利影响主要发生在学校表现结果上，发生在要求母亲工作或参加与就业有关的活动的项目和鼓励母亲自愿工作的项目中。对学业成绩的负面影响最明显的是那些有弟弟妹妹的青少年，可能是因为他们的母亲增加了就业，他们承担了更多的家庭和兄弟姐妹照顾责任。
Using data from 8 random assignment studies and employing meta-analytic techniques, this article provides systematic evidence that welfare and work policies targeted at low-income parents have small adverse effects on some school outcomes among adolescents ages 12 to 18 years at follow-up. These adverse effects were observed mostly for school performance outcomes and occurred in programs that required mothers to work or participate in employment-related activities and those that encouraged mothers to work voluntarily. The most pronounced negative effects on school outcomes occurred for the group of adolescents who had a younger sibling, possibly because of the increased home and sibling care responsibilities they assumed as their mothers increased their employment.
