                               WELFARE REFORM &
                    THE  DEVALUATION OF WOMEN'S WORK

Abstract:    Women   do not get a fair share when it comes to an economic assessment of their
input. They are consistently overrepresented in impoverished communities and are much more
likely than men to receive public assistance. This Article therefore posits a widely acknowledged
anti-poverty strategy, Guaranteed Basic Income, to help support women's overall economic
liberation. In addition to combating poverty, a Guaranteed Basic Income would provide women
with the economic independence necessary to choose their method of contribution, whether it be
care in the home, training or educational opportunities or the workforce; whereas, under the current
welfare regime, particularly Temporary Assistance of Needy Families (TANF), only work within
the labor market is deemed economically valuable.
