This analysis shows that welfare reform has induced less educated unmarried womem to move from welfare to work in significant numbers. The imposition of time limits and other a administrative reforms correlated with it have increased the employment of unmarried women with 12 or fewer years of education by an estimated 363,171 pproximately 28 percent of the decline in welfare caseloads for this group since 1994. Furthermore, evidence shows that womem who have left welfare for employment worked approximately 29 hours per week, which even at low wages may significantly improve their financial status relative to public assistance. However, little evidence can be found to show that the imposition of time limits and family caps affect the fertility of less educated unmarried womem
