Answer to Question 1

Some of the unemployed become eligible for welfare assistance when unemployment benefits end, but not all unemployed are eligible for welfare. To be eligible, people may have to sell their homes and use up most of their savings. Temporary unemployment, then, could devastate a family that had worked and accumulated resources over the years.

Answer to Question 2

Children living in large families are especially likely to live in poverty. This is because economic resources must be spread more thinly in a large family and because the mother is less able to work outside the home when she has many children. A major reason for the persistently high poverty among children is changes in the family structure in the United Stateshigher divorce rates, more children born to unmarried women, and more female-headed families.
