Abstract

Complex family relationships and inequality between division of labour often lead to women from low income families having to cope with managing a household on very little money. Running a family budget can often lead to depression and guilt over deciding which are the most important items to be paid for. Women will often put their children's and partner's needs before their own. Social workers can help low income families by trying to redress the inequality of financial responsibility.

178. Investing in the citizen-workers of the future: New Labour’s ‘third way’ in welfare reform.

Author

Lister, Ruth

Subjects
*PUBLIC welfare, *MIXED economy, *SOCIAL & economic rights, *CITIZENSHIP, *TAX benefits
Abstract

When New Labour came to power it made clear that its ?third way? in welfare meant a break with past commitments to redistribution through the tax-benefit system and traditional ?tax and spend? policies. Instead, it proposed a new ?welfare contract? aimed at ?empowerment not dependency?. This contract was premised on the centrality of paid work to: ? the assertion of the responsibilities of citizenship over social rights in return for new opportunities opened up by government; and [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

179. Chapter 7: 'Work for those who can, security for those who cannot.'.

Author

Lister, Ruth, Edwards, Rosalind, and Glover, Judith

Subjects
SOCIAL security, ECONOMIC security, POLITICAL parties, WELFARE economics, CITIZENSHIP
Abstract

This chapter discusses issues regarding social security reform. The chapter begins with a brief discussion of the paradigm shift in Labour's thinking, from an equality agenda to one comprising the trinity of Responsibility, Inclusion and Opportunity (RIO), expressed primarily through paid work. This agenda stands at the heart of the new contract for welfare, representing a third way in welfare reform, promoting opportunity instead of dependence. Overshadowed by the guiding principle of work for those who can, security for those who cannot, more traditional debates about benefit adequacy and the overall structure of social security, and in particular the balance between meanstested and non-meanstested benefits, are dismissed as irrelevant and old-fashioned. The chapter will argue, though, that they cannot be ignored, if security for those who cannot is to be treated as seriously as work for those who can in the implementation of social security reform. In the absence of public debate about the reform of the structure of social security, the danger is that individual policy changes will add up to a significant shift in the welfare regime mix further towards the liberal model. The implications for the fabric of citizenship and for the security of a significant proportion of the population are potentially profound.
