Popis:	We examine the impact of increased child‐care funding on the employment and earnings of 4,399 current and former welfare families in Miami‐Dade County. We find that the dramatic increase in funding for child care during the early stages of welfare reform significantly increased the likelihood of employment for these welfare clients, even those with substantial barriers to employment. Our results also indicate that very low co‐payment rates may have no significant effect on earnings, but higher rates can lead to a significant decline in the earnings of those making the transition from welfare to work.
