The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act, also known as welfare reform, resulted in fewer people on welfare as it established new work requirements and time limits for recipients. However, it did not necessarily lead to a decrease in persistent poverty levels or out-of-wedlock births, or an increase in marriage rates.
