Public Attitudes Toward Welfare and Reform: A Focus Group Report

This focus group report provides further insight on some of the findings from a nationwide survey on welfare released by the Kaiser Family Foundation in March 1995 (#1045). This survey suggests that citizens are more concerned with the moral underpinnings of the current welfare system than with the amount of tax money used for the program, and found participant agreement on the importance of job training, education and child care programs.
