It concludes that the most cost effective way to do that is to offer a work subsidy to all low-income single parents—in other words, to simply pay them for working in the labor market. This conclusion is based on a model of the labor force participation behavior of low-income single mothers that the author developed with Robert Moffitt. Among the proposals evaluated in the article, besides the work subsidy, are proposals to reduce the rate that welfare benefits are reduced when welfare recipients work, to provide wage subsidies to low-wage workers, to expand the earned income tax credit, and to subsidize the fixed costs of working."^^; "1995 Spring"; "2019-12-11T17:04:54.946484438+00:00"^^; "https://doi.org/10.21034/qr.1921"; ; "Mon Dec 16 17:29:09 2019"; "Article"; "392"; "Quarterly review (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.
