While still in its early stages, welfare reform has already been judged a great success in many states—at least in getting people off welfare. It’s estimated that more than 2 million people have left the rolls since 1994.
In the past four years, welfare rolls in Athens County have been cut in half. But 70 per cent of the people who left in the past two years took jobs that paid less than $6 an hour. The result: the Athens County poverty rate still remains at mote than 30 percent-twice the national average.
For advocates for the poor, that’s an indication of much more needs to be done.
"More people are getting jobs, but it’s not making their lives any better," says Kathy Lairn, a policy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington.
A center analysis of US Census data nationwide found that between 1995 and 1996, a greater percentage of single, female-headed household were earning money on-their own, but that average income for these households actually went down.
But for many, the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as well without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory.
"Welfare was a poison. It was a toxin that was poisoning the family," says Robert Rector, a welfare-reform policy analyst. "The reform is changing the moral climate in low-income communities. It’s beginning to rebuild the work ethic, which is much more important."
Mr. Rector and others argued that once "the habit of dependency is cracked," then the country can make other policy changes aimed at improving living standards. [br] From the passage we know that welfare reform aims at ______.
选项
A、saving welfare funds
B、rebuilding the work ethic
C、providing more jobs
D、cutting government expenses
答案
B
解析
根据文章倒数第二段第二句"The reform is changing the moral climate in low-income communities.”,可知此次社会福利改革的目标是改变人们工作的道德观,以使更多的人自觉自愿地自食其力,故B 为正确答案。
