Author

Listed:
  • Wolfgang Ochel

Abstract

The welfare-to-work system in the United States basically consists of two elements. First, the granting of an earned income tax credit (EITC) for low-income employees, and, second, the USA has pursued a workfare approach for social welfare recipients since 1996. Here, the introduction of this approach in the state of Wisconsin is presented.
