Competing Effects of Culture and Situation on Welfare Receipt
Social Service Review1989Vol. 63(3), pp. 359–371
Abstract
The debate about the relative influence of cultural and situational factors on welfare receipt is long standing. This study examines the competing effects of these factors. Results indicate that both culture and situation influence welfare receipt. Education and work experience were about three times as important as attitudes in explaining the variance in the number of years welfare was received.
