work Family Benefits variables related to employees fairness perceptions
Journal of Vocational Behavior, 2001Co-Authors: Lauren Parker, Tammy D. AllenAbstract:Abstract This study investigated relations between several individual (parental status and gender) and situational (organization size, task interdependence, and productivity maintenance) variables with perceptions of the fairness of work/Family Benefits. Benefit availability, personal use, and coworker use along with age and race were included as control variables. A total of 283 employees from a variety of organizations participated. Results indicated that age, race, personal use of flexible work arrangements, and task interdependence related to fairness perceptions of work/Family Benefits. Specifically, younger workers, minorities, those who had used flexible work arrangements, and workers in jobs requiring a greater degree of task interdependence had more favorable perceptions concerning work/Family Benefits than did older workers, Caucasians, individuals who had not used flexible work arrangements, and those working in jobs requiring a lesser degree of task interdependence. Theoretical and practical implications of the study are discussed.

Crediting Care or Marriage? Reforming Social Security Family Benefits
The journals of gerontology. Series B Psychological sciences and social sciences, 2006Co-Authors: Pamela HerdAbstract:OBJECTIVE For more than 20 years policy advocates and policymakers have argued that Social Security should reward women for raising children. Current Family Benefits, which only benefit women who marry, are thought to be outdated and unable to protect the neediest women. Thus, would Black and poor women fare better if Family Benefits were linked to parenthood, as opposed to marriage? I examined three care credit proposals that reflect the most common proposals put forth in the United States and the most common designs in other countries. METHODS I used the 1992 Health and Retirement Study and the Current Population Survey to create a policy simulation that estimates how women reaching age 62 from 2020 to 2030 would be affected by care credits. RESULT Black and poor women fared best with Benefits linked to parenthood. The specific proposal allowed parents, from the 35 earnings years used to calculate their benefit, to substitute $15,000 for up to 9 earnings' years that fell below this level. DISCUSSION The poorest women fare better with Family Benefits linked to parenthood instead of marital status. Moreover, they fare best when working women can benefit from care credits, but the care credit's value is not linked to earnings.

earnings inequality and welfare spending a disaggregated analysis
World Politics, 2003Co-Authors: Karl Ove Moene, Michael WallersteinAbstract:The welfare state is generally viewed as either providing redistribution from rich to poor or as providing publicly financed insurance. Both views are incomplete. Welfare policies provide both insurance and redistribution in varying amounts, depending on the design of the policy. The authors explore the political consequences of the mix of redistribution and insurance in the context of studying the impact of income inequality on expenditures in different categories of welfare spending in advanced industrial societies from 1980 to 1995. They find that spending on pensions, health care, Family Benefits, poverty alleviation and housing subsidies is largely uncorrelated with income inequality, but that spending on income replacement programs such as unemployment insurance, sickness pay, occupational illness and disability are significantly higher in countries with more egalitarian income distributions. They show that this pattern is exactly what a theory of political support for redistributive social insurance programs would predict.

Assessing poverty alleviation through social protection: School meals and Family Benefits in a middle-income country
Global Food Security, 2019Co-Authors: Elmira Bakhshinyan, Luca Molinas, Harold AldermanAbstract:Abstract School meal programs are credited with improving food security and encouraging primary school enrollment. Yet the role of such programs may be evolving given progress in primary school participation as well as the availability of new instruments for social protection. This study assesses whether a school meal program in Armenia that originated as a response to the global financial crisis of 2008 serves as a wide but shallow safety net. We look at both changes in poverty measures as well as the welfare effect of the program using general measures of social welfare within the context of a class of social welfare functions. We show that only for extreme poverty or for comparatively strong social aversion to inequality does the school meal program have a noticeable welfare outcome. We compare this to the welfare effect of a concurrent – and larger – Family benefit program.
