dc.description.abstract | This paper summarizes the findings from the Self Sufficiency Project: a large scale socialexperiment that is being conducted in Canada to evaluate the effect of high-powered financialincentives for full time work among former welfare recipients. The experimental results confirmthe importance of financial incentives in the welfare participation and work decisions of lowincomesingle mothers. Enhanced incentives induce a significant fraction of welfare recipients toleave the program and enter work. They also have a relatively large anti-poverty effect.Moreover, when incentives are offered to relatively short-term recipients, they can actually savethe government money. | en |
