What does day-to-day life involve for those who receive out-of-work
benefits? Is the political focus on moving people from 'welfare'
and into work the right one? And do mainstream political and media
accounts of the 'problem' of 'welfare' accurately reflect lived
realities? For whose benefit? The everyday realities of welfare
reform explores these questions by talking to those directly
affected by recent reforms. Ruth Patrick interviewed single
parents, disabled people and young jobseekers on benefits
repeatedly over five years to find out how they experienced the
rights and responsibilities of citizenship, and whether the welfare
state still offers meaningful protection and security in times of
need. She reflects on the mismatch between the portrayal of
'welfare' and everyday experiences, and the consequences of this
for the UK's ongoing welfare reform programme. Exploring issues
including the meaning of dependency, the impact of benefit
sanctions and the reach of benefits stigma, this important book
makes a timely contribution to ongoing debates about the efficacy
and ethics of welfare reform.
