You Cant Always Get What You Want: the Impact of the Jobseekers Allowance Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Alan Manning
Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
In 1996 the UK made major changes to its welfare system for the support of the unemployedwith the introduction of the Jobseeker's Allowance. This tightened the work searchrequirements needed for eligibility for benefit. It resulted in large flows out of claimantstatus, but, this paper concludes, not into employment. The movement out of claimant statuswas largest for those with low levels of search activity. But, this paper finds no evidence ofincreased job search activity as a result of this change.
