The Social Fund 20 Years On

Více o knize

The book offers a critical examination of the Social Fund's introduction and its operational history over the past twenty years. It challenges the notion that using loans for need relief was a novel approach in social security, drawing on previously overlooked primary data. By situating Social Fund loans within a broader historical context of poor relief debates, it enhances our understanding of state objectives in assisting the impoverished and enriches contemporary discussions on social security policy.
