Explain welfare reform and the effects of the major changes in the law
on clients, the welfare system and society.

Clients?  Is this from as school text book?  "Clients" has a positive
connotation that one does not usually associate with welfare
recipients.

client could be interchanged with receipants

Reforms in what way??

If the reform decressing, in general, the amount of money per welfare check then
 ->People who get welfare are likely to lose housing, have incressing
problems getting food and incressed credit
   ->End up with Poor get poor

If the reform decressing, in general, the amount of time, welfare is given then
 ->People in high risk jobs will likely become more fincinal unstable,
people who have been unemployed for a long time will lose a fincinal
foothold, incressed fear of job lose in socity
 
If the reform decressing the number of people who can get welfare then
 ->Losing of income to high risk people and families, incressing in
lieing to get welfare

Clearly the oppsite happens if the reforms incress the welfare

Hope this helps
