Reflections on the Woodhouse Legacy for the 21st Century
This lecture commemorates the life of one of our most distinguished judges and citizens, Sir Owen Woodhouse. His compassion, generosity of spirit and social conscience were reflected in his work as President of the Court of Appeal, President of the Law Commission and Chairman of the Royal Commission on Compensation for Injury that recommended a no-fault accident compensation scheme and laid the foundations for the Accident Compensation Corporatio…
Putting Children at the Centre
What do we mean when we say we want to put children at the centre of policy? What are the moral justifications for this approach? Has it become harder for us to understand this concept, when in practice paid work has been at the centre? In part confusion arises because the unpaid work of caring for children is invisible until it is marketized. In turn, the underlying problem is that we have forgotten our traditions of egalitarianism and adopted a…
Wage‐Earners' Welfare after Economic Reform
A ustralia and N ew Z ealand developed distinctive ‘wage‐earner welfare states’, with social protection largely delivered through high breadwinner basic incomes and residual social policies. Market reforms then pursued in both countries during the 1980s and 1990s retrenched important elements of the Antipodean model. Our article offers a novel characterization of major reforms to both welfare states from the mid‐1990s to the early 2010s. We focus…
The New Zealand Experience of Child-Based Work Incentives
New Zealand has gone further than most European countries in the use of child-based tax credits that emphasise work as the way out of poverty, especially for lone parents. From a background of neglect, as outlined in St John's ‘New Zealand's Financial Assistance for Poor Children: Are Work Incentives the Answer?’ published in the European Journal of Social Security (2006), family financial assistance was substantially boosted between 2005 and 200…
New Zealand's Financial Assistance for Poor Children
European countries have been concerned with reforming the labour market and promoting ‘employability’ and are now being asked to set out plans to eliminate child poverty and social exclusion. The experience of New Zealand might well provide an interesting case study. Labour market flexibility was promoted in the early 1990s, assisted by welfare benefit cuts. Family assistance was allowed to fall in real terms, while becoming more tightly targeted…
Social policy responses to globalisation in Australia and New Zealand, 1980–2005
This paper examines the changing nature of social policy and social inequality in Australia and New Zealand from the 1980s to the mid-2000s. In response to pressures of globalisation both countries pursued neo-liberal economic policies as they opened up their markets during terms of both conservative and Labor governments. However, poverty and inequality increased more in New Zealand than in Australia. The use of market-oriented policies and the …
