Research into minimum income standards and reference budgets around the world is compared in this illuminating collection from leading academics in the field. From countries with long established research traditions to places where it is relatively new, contributors set out the different aims and objectives of investigations into the minimum needs and requirements of populations, and the historical contexts, theoretical frameworks and methodological issues that lie behind each approach. For policymakers, practitioners and social policy and poverty academics, this essential review of learnings to date and future prospects for research is all the more relevant in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, testing health and social protection systems around the globe.

Download Minimum Income Schemes in Europe Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book investigates the paradox of rich countries of Western Europe, who have high levels of poverty whilst proclaiming its eradication as one of the primary social and economic goals. It looks at how policies often do not achieve their goals, why countries need mechanisms to reduce wage inequality and why they choose to provide universal benefits instead of systems of selective benefits targeted at the poor. Along with cross-countries comparisons, the volume also presents analysis of the minimum income in France, Portugal, Italy, Finland, Ireland, Belgium, and Greece.

Download Low Cost But Acceptable Incomes for Older People Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Outside the UK, budget standards serve as benchmarks for social policy, personal taxation, life insurance, pensions, money advice, debt orders and many other purposes. Accepted standards for nutrition, housing and warmth are used in this report.The study estimates the living costs, in January 1999, of men and women aged 65-74 years, at a living standard called Low Cost but Acceptable (LCA), representing the poverty line. Budgets are presented for single women, single men and couples, as local authority tenants and as owner-occupiers. The research is assisted by discussion groups composed of low-income adults from the relevant age groups. Low Cost but Acceptable incomes for older people contains essential information for individuals and organisations concerned with the well-being of older people, including: central and local government, the pensions industry, employers, residential homes, social services, trade unions, voluntary organisations and older people themselves. It provides recommendations to government about the incomes required by older people to avoid poverty in old age.

Download Low Cost But Acceptable Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The aims of this report are to introduce readers to a method of calculating household needs and costs called budget standards, which is widely known in North America, Australia, The Netherlands, and Scandinavia, but virtually unheard of in the UK, and stimulate debate about the incomes necessary to avoid poverty. Using a modified form of budget standards methodology, the study estimates the needs and living costs of two-parent and lone-parent families, each with a boy aged 10 years and a girl aged 4 years, at a Low-Cost but Acceptable living standard. Estimates like these could help governments to prevent poverty and hardship. This report contains essential information for those working in business and finance (eg, money advisors and banks and building societies), the legal profession and the courts, central and local government, the NHS, dietitians, caterers, the voluntary sector, educationalists and those involved in social policy. It should also attract an international audience of people working in similar fields.

Download Why We Need a Citizen’s Basic Income Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In the five years since Money for Everyone was published the idea of a Citizen’s Basic Income has rocketed in interest to an idea whose time has come. In moving the debate on from the desirability of a basic income this fully updated and revised edition now includes comprehensive discussions on feasibility and implementation. Using the consultation undertaken by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales as a basis, Torry examines a number of implementation methods for Citizen’s Basic Income and considers the cost implications. Including real-life examples from the UK, and data from case studies and pilots in Alaska, Namibia, India, Iran and elsewhere, this is the essential research-based introduction to the Citizen’s Basic Income.
