The political and economic landscape of UK social security provision has changed significantly since the 2008 financial crisis. This fully revised, restructured and updated 3rd edition of a go-to text book covers all the key policy changes and their implications since the elections of 2010 and 2015.









With contributions from leading academics in the field this book critically examines the design, entitlement, delivery and impact of current welfare provision. The first half of the book examines social security across the lifecycle from Child Benefit to retirement pensions. The second half focuses on key issues in policy and practice including new topics such as the realities of life on benefits in an era of austerity, and the pros and cons of Universal Basic Income.









Framework supports teachers and students, encouraging analytical thinking of issues and providing pointers to related sources



Authoritative and evidence-based arguments



Clear section and chapter summaries, overviews, questions for discussion, website resources and a bibliography



Includes tables, charts and text boxes for clarity, interest and appeal









This book is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Social Policy taking modules on Social Security Policy, Poverty and Inequality, Income Support and Welfare Reform, as well as Social Work students and those on other Social Science degree programmes.

Arvustused

"An indispensable, up-to-date guide to the UK social security system written by the country's leading experts in a clear and engaging style." Karen Rowlingson, University of Birmingham "A godsend of a book! It guides the student through the maze that is welfare reform. I would not hesitate to recommend it." Dr. Lavinia Mitton, University of Kent "Fully updated to reflect a rapidly changing policy landscape, this engaging volume by a stellar cast provides a valuable overview of social security in the UK. Combining policy discussion with empirical evidence, including insights from qualitative research, it will prove an essential resource for students." Dr Kitty Stewart, London School of Economics and Political Science
