从福利到工作的客户离开福利名册并留在劳动力队伍中的能力往往受到他们面临的工作障碍的限制。我们使用了1 404名女性福利工作客户的样本，首先研究了工作障碍的结构，然后在一个结构方程模型的背景下，结合其他中央就业途径，测试了它们对当前工作状态的贡献。虽然工作障碍包括各种因素，从缺乏交通到低质量的工作，但它们被证明是一个一维的结构。此外，工作障碍对就业结果有净不利影响，控制求职自我效能和就业意向。最后，我们讨论的影响发展的福利工作计划和干预措施，针对低收入妇女。
The ability of welfare-to-work clients to leave the welfare rolls and stay in the labor force is often limited by the work barriers they face. Using a sample of 1,404 female welfare-to-work clients we first examined the structure of work barriers and then tested their contribution to current work status in the context of a structural equation model that incorporated other central pathways to employment. Whereas work barriers included diverse factors ranging from lack of transportation to low quality jobs, they were shown to constitute a uni-dimensional construct. Furthermore, work barriers had a net adverse effect on employment outcomes, controlling for job search self-efficacy and employment intention. We conclude with discussion of implications for the development of welfare-to-work programs and interventions that target low-income women.
