  2. Research Question • Does mental disability have any correlation on poverty rates among male and females?

  3. Literature Review • ELWAN: Said that there is an assumption that people living in poverty are more likely than others to be disabled. • ENTMACHER: One in seven women lived in poverty in 2012. Poverty rate for women (14.5 percent) was 3.5 percentage points higher than it was for men (11.0 percent). • O’BRIEN: Stability of job market plays a role in the security of a person, people with a mental disability tend to have unstable mental security. Disability assistance programs offer more security then self-reliance. • LENNON: research on welfare recipients has not included measurements of mental health in general or of depression, in particular. With the Family Support Act of 1988, which encouraged the employment of women on welfare, and the passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), which requires work, researchers have become increasingly concerned with identifying potential obstacles to employment and job retention. PRWORA created a five-year lifetime limit on receiving aid (some states have even shorter time limits), as well as a stringent work requirement: recipients must work after two years of consecutive support. • BLALOCK: Speak to the 1996 PRWORA and how this policy saw reduction in the overall caseloads dependent on the welfare some poverty reduction. What is over looked: Most recipients mostly women, do find employment. Usually low-wage sector yet obtain a nonpermanent positions due to weak work skills and lack of education.
