While recent Labour and coalition governments have insisted that
many unemployed people prefer state benefits to a job, and have
tightened the rules attached to claiming unemployment benefits,
mainstream academic research repeatedly concludes that only a tiny
minority of unemployed benefit claimants are not strongly committed
to employment. Andrew Dunn argues that the discrepancy can be
explained by UK social policy academia leaving important questions
unanswered. Dunn presents findings from four empirical studies
which, in contrast to earlier research, focused on unemployed
people's attitudes towards unattractive jobs and included
interviews with people in welfare-to-work organisations. All four
studies' findings were consistent with the view that many
unemployed benefit claimants prefer living on benefits to
undertaking jobs which would increase their income, but which they
find unattractive. Thus, the studies gave support to politicians'
view about the need to tighten benefit rules.
