The PRWORA imposed limits on the amount of time that a family
could receive cash-welfare payments during its members’ childhoods.
Grogger and Michalopoulos (2003) found that these time limits led
to immediate reductions in the number of people receiving welfare
benefits, even though nobody in the family had reached his or her
time limit.
Which group of families should be particularly sensitive to the
introduction of these time limits: those with younger children or
those with older children? Explain your answer
