The Relationship

This study investigated the relationship of adolescent self-concept to perceptions of parents in single and two-parent families. The sample consisted of 558 children, 19% from single-parent homes. Examination of the data indicated that children from single parent families have lower self concepts. There was also a significant relationship between self concept and the adolescents' perceptions of their parents. In addition, perceived love was found to be the best predictor of self concept in adolescents.

The Relationship

This article describes existing child support practice in the United States, giving attention to the establishment and enforcement of parental child support obligations as well as to publicly provided child support benefits. Effects of the current system on alleviating poverty are assessed. The article addresses several questions. Should low-income absent parents be excused from the obligation to support their children? Can child support provide more generous benefits to single-parent families while minimizing incentives for the formation of single-parent families? Should children in single-parent families be aided by a welfare program? What are the problems with the current child support system? Finally, a proposal for a new child support insurance system is described, along with estimates of the costs of the system and its effects on poverty and welfare dependence. The relationship of estimated benefits to costs is promising enough to warrant trying out the new system in selected jurisdictions.
