  • Egalitarians, Equalities and Welfare Evaluation

    Open AccessMichael O''Higgin, Michael O’higgins et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Policy1987Cited by: 7References: 6

    The focus of this paper is on the nature of the egalitarian policy objectives of the welfare state, and on the evaluation and assessment of social policies in the light of those objectives. This focus reflects the pervasive but often ill-defined presence of equality as an objective for social policy, without asserting that it is either unique or uncontested as an objective. The paper does not offer an evaluation of the success or failure of the w…

  • Inequality, Redistribution and Recession: The British Experience, 1976-1982

    Open AccessMichael O''Higgin, Michael O’higgins et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Policy1985Cited by: 6References: 3

    The combination of economic recession and political reaction - which might be expected to lead to an increase in inequality - has been accompanied in the United Kingdom by an intellectual critique of the egalitarian impact of social welfare provision. This paper examines the pattern and trend of inequality and redistribution in recent years in the light of these economic, political and intellectual pressures. The paper demonstrates that inequalit…

    Open AccessMichael O’higgins, MICHAEL OHIGGINSARTICLEPublic Administration1984Cited by: 1

    The operational strategy for social security — how to computerize one of the largest manually‐dominated ‘sort, act and file’ operations in the country — is the emerging product of work which began in 1977 and has thus far produced a discussion document (DHSS 1980), a strategy proposals document (DHSS 1982), a high‐level seminar (DHSS 1983) and a wide range of consultations. A ministerial response to the strategy — likely to be the go‐ahead with o…
