One
for All: Active welfare and the single working-age benefit
This paper examines the case for a single
working-age benefit. They conclude that this offers perhaps
the best prospect of achieving a benefit system that actively
supports welfare-to-work policy (in a way that neither the
current system nor the imminent changes to Incapacity Benefit
does), is greatly more responsive to individuals' needs than
the current system, and matches a rights and responsibilities
agenda.

Taking
Responsibility: A fair welfare contract
The concept of 'rights and responsibilities'
is now firmly entrenched in debates about welfare policy and
is most obviously associated with arguments about benefit
conditionality.

issue. This study examines public attitudes to economic inequality,
and related issues of poverty and redistribution.

The
Geography of Employment Polarisation in Britain

in the UK reached a record high of over 29 million. But it
is important to consider the quality of the new jobs that
have been created, as well as their number.
