We argue that the welfare state reproduces gender stratification structurally by replicating a gendered division of labor and culturally by inculcating an ideological framework that sustains that division of labor. We illustrate our arguments through an historical study of the War on Poverty, a key period in the history of the welfare state. The Job Corps, a core anti-poverty program, trained young men and women in basic skills and prepared them for jobs in the skilled trades. While job training for young, African-American women emphasized middle-class, homemaking skills, young men received training in the skilled trades. This training enabled men to challenge racial discrimination in the labor market but concentrated women's labor — paid and unpaid — in the realm of domestic status production and consumption. © 1995 Society for the Study of Social Problems, Inc.
