Reform of social security and tax is at the heart of the government's vision to combat social exclusion, eradicate child poverty and move people into employment. Since 1997 there have been changes in policy and administration, directly affecting the lives of millions of people and raising important issues of equity and social justice. This book provides an analysis of these changes and their impact and covers both social security policy and practice addressing key issues such as tax credits, welfare-to-work, cash and care, fraud, asylum seekers and ethnic minorities, disability, the pledge to end child poverty, pensions, international policy contexts, policy making and institutional change and policy implementation for service delivery.
