World and Nation Reagan task force urges incentives for child-rearing WASHINGTON (AP) — A Rea gan administration study group, charging that the “fabric of family life has been frayed by the abrasive experiments of two liberal decades,” on Thursday called for tax breaks and government policies to encour age child rearing^ The report, entitled “The Family: Preserving America’s Future,” said, “Intact families are good. Families who choose to have children are making a desirable decision. “Mothers and fathers who then decide to spend a good deal of time raising those children themselves rather than leaving it to others are demonstrably doing a good thing for those children.” Education Undersecretary Gary Bauer, who headed the 22-member task f orce, denied that the report im plied any criticism of couples who decided not to have children or who put their youngsters in day care. “All this report does is praise fam ilies who decide to have children,” Bauer said. But he said child rearing should be encouraged to reverse population trends that eventually will result in a shortage of young people. Accusing courts, schools and gov ernment programs of undermining family programs, the report recom mended that welfare benefits be given to teen-age mothers only if they live at home with their parents. “Government should not provide incentives — or make things easier -— for teen-agers tempted to prom iscuity,” the report said. While acknowledging that there was no statistical evidence to support the view that welfare encourages teen-age motherhood, the report said single mothers under age 21 should not be allowed to collect ben efits under the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) pro gram or live in subsidized housing unless they reside with their parents. 53% of lone mothers get no child support WASHING.TON (AP) — More than half the mothers raising chil dren on their own do so without fi nancial help from the fathers, a new Census Bureau report says. Of the nearly 8.7 million divorced and separated American women raising children, 53 percent were re ceiving no help from the fathers, according to the study, “Child Sup port and Alimony: 1983.” Some 3.7 million had not been awarded child support, and another 958,000 were unable to collect their award, according to the study. Of the women without a court award, about one-fourth said they didn’t want the help. Most women said they didn’t re ceive awards because they couldn’t establish paternity or find fathers. Of the 958,000 women unable to collect their payments, the largest share, 51.5 percent, said the child’s father simply had refused to pay. Of the women who were awarded payments, 70 percent were able to collect at least part of their awards, an improvement over 1981, the last time figures were compiled. In that year, 72 percent collected at least part of the money. The federal government has launched efforts in the last few years to help mothers collect the support they are due, including a 1984 law aimed at getting states to use such techniques as wage withholding from fathers who fall behind.
