本文分析了 AFDC 福利与单亲母亲居住在亚家庭（即另一个家庭而不是自己的独立家庭）的倾向之间的关系。我们发现一些州向生活在小家庭中的母亲支付较低的福利。在这些州，如果单亲母亲选择居住在一个小家庭而不是建立自己的家庭，她可能会放弃大量的 AFDC 福利。使用 1984 年当前人口调查的数据，我们解决了 AFDC 福利的差异是否会影响母亲居住在一个亚家庭的可能性的问题。我们发现支付给亚家庭的较低福利具有明显但很小的影响，而 AFDC 福利的总体水平没有影响。
This paper analyzes the relationship between AFDC benefits and a single mother's propensity to reside in a subfamily-i.e., within another family rather than in her own independent household. We find that some states pay lower benefits to mothers living in subfamilies. In those states, a single mother may forego a substantial amount of AFDC benefits if she chooses to reside in a subfamily rather than establish her own household. Using data from the 1984 Current Population Survey, we address the question of whether differences in AFDC benefits affect the probability that a mother will reside in a subfamily. We find that the lower benefits paid to subfamilies have discernible but small effects, and that the overall level of AFDC benefits has no effect.
