Description
Summary:One major problem faced by mother-only families is the attainment of adequate housing. While new legislation aimed at improving the housing situation for motheronly families has been developed, the success of this legislation has not been measured. To do this, it is necessary to compile baseline data to which future data can be compared. This study used data from the 1987 Panel Study of Income Dynamics to investigate factors associated with the attainment of housing that meets housing norms; and, to discover if mother-only families were as likely to achieve such norms as two-parent families when other identified predictors were held constant.
