This book was released on 2007-03-27 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This strategy document sets out the measures the Department for Work and Pensions intends to take to help achieve the Government's target to eradicate child poverty by 2020, based on the principle that improving employment opportunities for parents is the most sustainable route out of poverty for themselves and their children. These measures follow on from the 2007 Budget statement (HCP 342, session 2006-07; ISBN 9780102944556) and form part of the Government's cross-departmental strategy to tackle child poverty through a whole range of policy areas, including tax and benefits, health and housing, childcare and education. Measures announced include: i) extending the New Deal Plus for Lone Parents (NDLP Plus) to March 2011 and to cover all lone parents in London, and to extend key elements of this support programme to two-parent families on benefit in the current pilot areas and throughout London; ii) extending the In-Work Credit for Lone Parents scheme (which provides an extra £40 per week for lone parents moving into work in 40 per cent of the country, including most of London) until June 2008 and to increase the rate payable in London to £60; iii) pilot schemes to link the In-Work Credit to adviser support to promote retention in work for lone parents, based on the Employment Retention and Advancement model; and iv) a major expansion of work-focused English as a Second Language provision, delivered through the cities strategy pilots in East and West London.
Book Synopsis Analysing Families by : Alan Carling
Download or read book Analysing Families written by Alan Carling and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-07-05 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the family and its role continues to be a key topic in social and government policy, much of the literature is concerned with describing the dramatic changes that are taking place. By contrast, Analysing Families directly addresses the social processes responsible for these changes - how social policy interacts with what families actually do. Topics covered include: * the relationship between morality and rationality in the family context * the variety of contemporary family forms * the purposes and assumptions of government interventions in family life * the relationship between different welfare states and different ideas about motherhood * 'Third Way' thinking on families * divorce and post-divorce arrangements * lone parenthood and step-parenting * the decision to have children * the economic approach to understanding family process * the legitimacy of state intervention in family life. With contributions from the UK, and North America, Analysing Families provides the framework within which to understand an increasingly important element in social policy.

Book Synopsis Welfare to Work in Practice by : Peter Saunders
Download or read book Welfare to Work in Practice written by Peter Saunders and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welfare to Work in Practice brings together some of the leading international social security experts to discuss the rationale for welfare to work policies, their limitations and problems encountered in practice. Contributors include Jane Millar, Neil Gilbert, Martin Werding, Jonathan Bradshaw and Einar Overbye, who address topics ranging from the linkages between social security and the labour market to how the welfare to work agenda is responding to the needs of special groups such as lone parents, the long-term unemployed and those with a disability. The book puts the arguments and ideas that underlie the new welfare reform agenda under the microscope and explains how it is being implemented in an international context. Several new data sets are analyzed in a collection that covers developments in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Norway, the UK and the US, as well as several comparative studies. In doing so, this volume helps to bridge the gap between research and policy and demonstrates how policy can respond to the challenges it faces.

Book Synopsis Towards Enabling Geographies by : Dr Robert Wilton
Download or read book Towards Enabling Geographies written by Dr Robert Wilton and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-11-28 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 15 years, geography has made many significant contributions to our understanding of disabled people's identities, lives, and place in society and space. 'Towards Enabling Geographies' brings together leading scholars to showcase the 'second wave' of geographical studies concerned with disability and embodied differences. This area has broadened and challenged conventional boundaries of 'disability', expanding the kinds of embodied differences considered, while continuing to grapple with important challenges such as policy relevance and the use of more inclusionary research approaches. This book demonstrates the value of a spatial conceptualization of disability and disablement to a broader social science audience, whilst examining how this conceptualization can be further developed and refined.

Book Synopsis Department for Work and Pensions Five Year Strategy by : Great Britain: Department for Work and Pensions
Download or read book Department for Work and Pensions Five Year Strategy written by Great Britain: Department for Work and Pensions and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2005 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The welfare state of the 20th century was designed to provide support from the cradle to the grave, but the changing demographic profile of Britain - longer life-spans mean that by 2007 the number of people over state pension age will exceed the number of children - presents a challenge to such a system of support. This plan sets out the Government's strategy of aiming for an 80 per cent employment rate as the best means of keeping people out of poverty, and allowing saving for a secure retirement. Such an aspiration requires the movement into work of a proportion of those people traditionally seen as outside the labour market and with complex barriers preventing entry into that market. Supporting these inactive people into employment will require carefully tailored support. The strategy outlines the approach in three major areas: (1) supporting children and families, including helping lone parents into gainful work; (2) helping those on incapacity benefits to return to work; (3) breaking down barriers to employment faced by disabled people, older workers and ethnic minorities.

Book Synopsis Going it Alone? by : Martina Klett-Davies
Download or read book Going it Alone? written by Martina Klett-Davies and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are lone mothers 'going it alone' in late modernity? In this fascinating work, Martina Klett-Davies examines how women negotiate lone motherhood in Britain and Germany. She draws on interviews with 70 unmarried lone mothers living on state benefits in inner city areas to examine the complexity and diversity of their lives, the ways in which they try to manage choices and constraints, and how they position themselves as carers, dependants or as paid workers. Going it Alone? assesses the extent to which individualization can explain the experience of state-dependent lone mothers, further develops the concept and provides a better understanding of lone mothers. Suggestions with regard to paid employment, education and state benefits are provided as well as policy recommendations for increasing the options available to lone mothers.

Book Synopsis Activation or Workfare? Governance and the Neo-Liberal Convergence by : Ivar Lodemel
Download or read book Activation or Workfare? Governance and the Neo-Liberal Convergence written by Ivar Lodemel and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-29 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last decade of the 20th century was marked by a shift in how welfare-states deal with those at the bottom of the income ladder. This shift involved the introduction/strengthening of work-obligations as a condition for receiving minimum income benefits - which, in some countries, was complemented by efforts to help recipients return to the labour market, namely through the investment in active labour market policies (ALMP). Based on case-studies of developments in the US and eight European nations (UK, Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, Germany, France, Portugal and the Czech Republic), this book argues that this first set of reforms was followed by a second wave of reforms that, whilst deepening the path towards the focus on work, brings important innovations- be it the tools used to help recipients back to the labour markets (ex., financial incentives) and in how activation policies are delivered (ex., integration of benefit and employment services). Looking at the array of developments introduced during this period, we discern two key trends. The first concerns the strengthening of the role of the market in the governance of activation, which is visible in the strengthening of the focus on work, or the marketisation of employment services. The second, concerns a move towards the individualisation of service delivery, visible in the expansion of the use of personal action plans or in efforts to streamline service delivery. Finally, we show that the onset of the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, has triggered a new wave of reforms. Whilst tentative only, our analysis points to a worrying trend of the curtailment or benefits (Portugal) and activation services (Netherlands, Czech Republic) to minimum income recipients and, in parallel, a further deepening of the focus on work-conditionality (UK and Norway).
