journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-09, 14:29 authored by Mahasweta M Banerjee, Jeri DammanJeri DammanThis article reviews the capabilities approach to understand the life circumstances that affect the employability of “hard-to-employ” welfare (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families [TANF]) recipients. It reports research findings related to TANF recipients’ employment and presents key elements of the capabilities approach. It compares and contrasts functionings that impede and enhance TANF recipients’ employment. It finds that employability is influenced by seven of the 10 core functioning capabilities identified by Nussbaum. It recommends social workers assess and enhance TANF recipients’ employability by addressing all these seven functionings as appropriate with particular emphasis on practical reason, affiliation, and control over environment.
