Description
Family credit is a social security benefit designed to ensure that families with children are better off in work than out of work. Its introduction was of key importance in the 1988 reform of the UK benefit system. "Perceptions of Family Credit" is based on a study of people receiving family credit, people receiving benefits who were hoping to move into work, and people identified as eligible for, but not claiming, family credit. The different experiences and perceptions of couples and lone parents, and the interaction of family credit with other benefits are explored. The findings throw light on a number of important issues in current social policy: gender and household budgeting, incentives, income risk and take-up.
