Sammendrag
Policy-makers have confronted welfare dependence and poverty among single mothers by

imposing work requirements and time limits on the receipt of welfare benefits. Reforms with

such features have generally reduced programme case-loads and increased the employment

and earnings of single mothers. There is little evidence, however, on the amount of benefit

substitution associated with such reforms. In this paper, we test whether reductions in welfare

dependence may be offset by increased participation in other benefit programmes. Evaluating

the restrictive reforms of the welfare programme for single mothers in Norway, we find

evidence of considerable benefit substitution. Hence, decreases in programme case-loads do

not reflect equal reductions in welfare dependence.
