While there has been much research on welfare exit and entry into employment, less research has looked at return to government assistance. Applying survival analysis on data from a national government assistance programme in Singapore, we found two important factors of welfare return to which activation programmes need to pay greater attention. First, return was more likely if former beneficiaries accumulated a higher number of types of arrears rather than higher dollar values of arrears. This new finding contributes to the emerging literature on bandwidth tax, and suggests the importance of designing programmes that relieve mental accounting due to debt and poverty. Second, return was more likely if respondents had an infant or toddler child. This points to the importance of a range of support policies including affordable and accessible childcare, exemption from work requirement in receipt of welfare, and family leave for low-wage workers.

在激活中考虑债务和幼儿的重要性:回归福利的生存分析

虽然有很多关于福利退出和就业的研究,但很少有研究关注政府援助的回报。对新加坡国家政府援助计划的数据进行生存分析,我们发现激活计划需要更多关注福利回报的两个重要因素。首先,如果前受益人积累了更多类型的欠款而不是更高的欠款美元价值,则更有可能返回。这一新发现为有关带宽税的新兴文献做出了贡献,并表明设计减轻债务和贫困造成的心理账户的计划的重要性。其次,如果受访者有婴儿或蹒跚学步的孩子,返回的可能性更大。
