Opis: New Perspectives on Health, Disability, Welfare and the Labour Market - Stephen Kellett, Nick Ellison, Ignazio Cabras

Bringing together researchers from the fields of social policy, economics, sociology and clinical psychology, this book offers new evidence on the inter-related problems faced by disability claimants, and identifies important lessons for policy. * Explores how reducing the level of UK benefit claiming among those with health limitations has been a priority for successive governments * Argues that current policy fails to reflect the evidence that people on long-term disability benefits face a complex combination of barriers to work and social inclusion * Demonstrates that there is a need for continuing inter-disciplinary research on the nature of the disability benefits problem and the efficacy of current policy solutions and public servicesList of Contributors vii Introduction: New Perspectives on Health, Disability, Welfare and the Labour Market 1 Colin Lindsay, Bent Greve, Ignazio Cabras, Nick Ellison and Stephen Kellett 1 Assessing the Evidence Base on Health, Employability and the Labour Market Lessons for Activation in the UK 5 Colin Lindsay, Bent Greve, Ignazio Cabras, Nick Ellison and Stephen Kellett 2 Disability Benefits in an Age of Austerity 25 Christina Beatty and Steve Fothergill 3 From Impairment to Incapacity Educational Inequalities in Disabled People s Ability to Work 47 Ben Baumberg 4 Keeping meself to meself How Social Networks Can Influence Narratives of Stigma and Identity for Long-term Sickness Benefits Recipients 65 Kayleigh Garthwaite 5 Measuring the Impacts of Health Conditions on Work Incapacity Evidence from the British Household Panel Survey 81 William Whittaker and Matt Sutton 6 The Influence of Presenting Health Condition on Eventual Return to Work for Individuals Receiving Health-Related Welfare Benefits 107 Fiona Purdie and Stephen Kellett 7 A Review of Health-related Support Provision within the UK Work Programme What s on the Menu? 127 Jenny Ceolta-Smith, Sarah Salway and Angela Mary Tod 8 Supporting the UK s Workless An International Comparative Perspective 151 Mike Danson, Ailsa McKay and Willie Sullivan Index 175
