Basic income
Basic Income is gaining increasing prominence. The paper analyses the idea. Six confusions are discussed and suggestions made for greater clarity. Five claims made for Basic Income are considered – that unconditionality is just, that individualised simplicity is fair, that it is economically efficient, that it is compatible with the future labour market, and is politically feasible. All five of these claims are found to be wanting. Some of the ch…
Technological innovations and social development in Asia
It is increasingly a concern that technological innovations may create as many problems as they solve. Together with the articles in this special issue, we outline the challenges and opportunities posed by technological changes to social development and the mechanisms through which technological innovations may deliver or prevent social development. The experience in Asia in this collection shows the attempt to use technological innovations to ov…
The Future of Social Policy—Changing the Paradigm
The future of the social state is, throughout the world, uncertain, but, as P iketty argues, it is of the utmost importance. The dominant paradigm for thinking about social policy both in terms of government action and academic analysis has been the social service model, as exemplified in the work of R ichard T itmuss. In the W est, there has been a growing crisis in social policy. Demand for social services has increased for demographic, economi…
Piketty's capital and social policy
Piketty's Capital (2014) primarily describes and analyses changes in the distribution of wealth and annual incomes. This paper focuses on his policy proposals that make up Part Four of the book.Piketty defends the 'social state' but he discusses it largely in terms of distribution and redistribution between tax units. This neglects the important role of social policy in promoting recognition and redistribution of income and opportunities that is …

Colonialism and Welfare
The field of post-colonial studies has emphasized the way contemporary attitudes and institutions in both the industrial and developing nations have been shaped by centuries of European global domination. As the colonial era draws to an end, this article employs a post-colonial perspective to examine the origins, nature and functions of social welfare in previously colonized societies. It shows how contemporary social policies in these societies …
Social justice and public policy
Introduction From a small child protesting that ‘It's not fair’, to a former Enron employee, commenting on a senior executive who had been urging employees to invest their savings in Enron stock at the same time as he was unloading his, saying ‘It was unjust’, a concern for social justice dominates much of everyone's lives. ‘Social justice’ is a term that is both normative and prescriptive: situations are assessed in terms of their social justice…
Poverty and inequality
The Wilson and Callaghan Labour governments of 1974-79 have been widely vilified. Their record on poverty and inequality is examined in terms of expectations and achievements. Outcomes for the elderly, children and disabled people are examined and the distribution of earnings and income and the extent of poverty are assessed. The record of a modest reduction in poverty and little change in inequality are in marked contrast with the increases of t…
Freedom to be a Child
Children's lives have been transformed over the past century. Family incomes have increased, children lead lives that are more solitary, attitudes to childhood have changed, new products have been developed and commercial pressures on children have increased. The importance of these commercial pressures is analysed. Do children understand advertising? How is child poverty affected? How does increased materialism affect psychological well-being? T…
Social Policy and Politics
Social policy is central to current political debates. The framework in which social policy is discussed remains largely a social services or micro-social policy framework. The contribution of the social services has been reappraised. The importance of the 'private' behaviour of individuals and families that has social consequences is being increasingly realised. There is a growing need for a new 'macro-social policy' approach that extends to all…
Understanding Social Exclusion
This book explores the issue of social exclusion. It asks three main questions: How can social exclusion be measured? What are its main determinants or influences? And what policies can reduce social exclusion? The authors aim to consider how a focus on social exclusion may alter the policy questions that are most relevant by fostering debate in government, research, and academic circles.

Degrees of Exclusion
Interpretations of the term ‘social exclusion’ are legion—as outlined in the Introduction to this volume—but empirical treatments are scarcer. Some analysis has been framed in terms of social exclusion, while focusing on a particular symptom or aspect (for example, crime or long-term unemployment: Jones Finer and Nellis 1998; Lawless et al. 1998). Others have produced summaries of a wide range of indicators (Rahman et al. 2000), or supplemented r…
Child Poverty, Opportunities and Quality of Life
Reducing Child Poverty in Britain
The reduction and eventual elimination of child poverty has become one of the central objectives of the new Labour Government in Britain. Measures to achieve this by changing taxes and benefits and promoting paid work are described. Their effects are assessed using a micro-simulation model. The policy changes will achieve a significant reduction in child poverty but it will remain in 2001 substantially higher than in 1979 and much higher than in …
Child Poverty in Britain and the New Labour Government
The new Labour government in Britain has made the reduction of child poverty one of its central objectives. This article analyses the circumstances of children in poverty and describes the specific initiatives involved in Labour's approach and weighs them up in terms of their potential impact. The impact on child poverty of policies designed to raise incomes directly is analysed using micro-simulation modelling. A major emphasis of current policy…
Social Exclusion in Britain 1991—1995
The purpose of this paper is to offer a working definition of social exclusion and to operationalize it in such a way that an initial empirical analysis of social exclusion in Britain today can be undertaken. After a brief review of conceptions of social exclusion and some of the key controversies, we operationalize one definition based on the notion of participation in five types of activity—consumption, savings, production, political and social…
Social security and dependence
There is increasing concern that social security creates dependence. The contingencies of most interest are unemployment, lone parenthood and disability. The relationships between each of these contingencies and the level of social security benefits are analysed cross‐nationally; in no case is there a systematic relationship. The paper then examines other factors that determine dependence on social security
European Social Policy
The Social Charter declares that the social dimension of the Community be given the same importance as the economic dimension. Despite this, the EC currently lacks any coherent, consistent or comprehensive social philosophy of policy. State intervention in the form of social policy can be justified mainly on grounds of efficiency, equity or solidarity. The appropriate level of intervention - local, regional, national or EC - is considered separat…

The Time-Consequences of Social Services
This paper analyses issues of time in relation to social services. A classification of time-consequences is presented. The fields of education, health, community care, and social security provision are then reviewed to identify the time-consequences which arise for service users and others. Finally, the implications of the analysis - relating to efficiency, consistency, equity, and gender - are discussed
Rapid c-myc mRNA degradation does not require (A + U)-rich sequences or complete translation of the mRNA
The c-myc proto-oncogene encodes a highly unstable mRNA. Stabilized, truncated myc transcripts have been found in several human and murine tumors of hematopoietic origin. Recently, two tumors expressing 3' truncated c-myc mRNAs that were five times more stable than normal myc transcripts, were described. We have tried to determine the cause of the increased stability of the 3' truncated myc transcripts by studying the half-life of mutated c-myc m…

Problems in the Definition and Measurement of Poverty
Three approaches to defining poverty levels are discussed-social consensus approaches, budget standard methods, and behavioural approaches. Each addresses different questions and none, of itself, has provided-nor, it is argued, could ever provide-an objective definition of poverty. The paper then raises problems that have been largely neglected in defining poverty. First, the treatment of time and home production: the time and ability of individu…

Disability, Retirement and Unemployment of Older Men
Among older men in England from 1971 to 1981 the increase in the extent of those defined as disabled was of the same order as the increase in unemployment. Using Census data for the forty-six counties of England, changes in disability, retirement and economic activity are related to changes in unemployment. A substantial proportion of the overall increase in disability and the decline in economic activity is attributable to the general rise in un…

Attitudes to Pensions
One in six of the population is an old-age pensioner and everyone has the prospect of becoming one in their time. It is therefore unsurprising that pensions have been a subject of much political debate. There has, however, been little investigation of what people think about pensions. Politicians have tended to declare that pensions are too low but have in practice been constrained in raising them by their conception of the willingness, or unwill…

Patterns of Income and Expenditure within Families
Intra-familial income distribution and the new economics of the family are discussed and questions raised concerning the distribution of income and expenditure within families. Using data from the Family Expenditure Survey 1977 for couples, the incomes and expenditures of the man and the woman are analysed. While incomes are generally highly unequal and expenditures on certain commodities are heavily concentrated on one partner, expendtiure patte…

The income effect of a disabled child
Data from the General Household Survey were employed to compare the participation rates, hours worked, earnings, and net incomes of families with and without a disabled child. In families with a disabled child it was found that the spouse was significantly more likely to work the more children there were in the family and that income, and income as a proportion of supplementary benefit entitlement, was lower

Poverty in Britain 1899 to 1983
Past comparisons of the extent of poverty in Britain have been based on widely differing poverty levels. A constant relative poverty level is defined and new estimates of the extent of poverty from 1899 to 1983, based on this consistent standard, are presented. Factors that have contributed to the past changes are analysed
