Moving People from Welfare to Work. Lessons from the National Evaluation of Welfare-to-Work Strategies.. Participation in Education and Training: Can mandatory welfare-to-work programs engage large numbers of people in education and training?

Pathways to Adulthood and Marriage: Teenagers’ Attitudes, Expectations, and Relationship Patterns. Teens’ Experiences with Intimate Relationships

Teens’ initial experiences with romantic relationships are an important potential influence on their later relationships in adulthood.
