Abstract
Does a mother's welfare receipt increase the future dependency of her children? Does the welfare system thus stimulate the dependency of future generations? Parameter estimates reported here suggest such intergenerational effects. The sample comprises young girls and their mothers. After control for observed and unobserved heterogeneity, a mother's welfare participation is found to increase her daughter's later welfare dependency.Keywords
