Abstract
There are many popular misconceptions about people on welfare. This study challenges these myths with empirical findings, confirming the results of earlier studies. Four misconceptions contradicted by the findings of this study are as follows:
- MYTH: She Doesn’t Want to Work
- MYTH: Welfare Breeds Welfare
- MYTH: She Rides the Gravy Train
- MYTH: She Finds Life is Easy on Welfare
