Welfare conditionality has become an idea of global significance in
recent years. A 'hot topic' in North America, Australia, and across
Europe, it has been linked to austerity politics, and the rise of
foodbanks and destitution. In the Global South, where publicly
funded welfare protection systems are often absent, conditional
approaches have become a key tool employed by organisations
pursuing human development goals. The essence of welfare
conditionality lies in requirements for people to behave in
prescribed ways in order to access cash benefits or other welfare
support. These conditions are typically enforced through benefit
'sanctions' of various kinds, reflecting a new vision of 'welfare',
focused more on promoting 'pro-social' behaviour than on protecting
people against classic 'social risks' like unemployment. This new
book in Routledge's Key Ideas series charts the rise of behavioural
conditionality in welfare systems across the globe, its appeal to
politicians of Right and Left, and its application to a growing
range of social problems. Crucially it explores why, in the context
of widespread use of conditional approaches as well as apparently
strong public support, both the efficacy and the ethics of welfare
conditionality remain so controversial. As such, Welfare
Conditionality is essential reading for students, researchers, and
commentators in social and public policy, as well as those
designing and implementing welfare policies.
