| Abstract
|
:
|
Over the last three decades Britain has witnessed an unprecedented rise in the number of people receiving welfare benefits that has provoked fears of a growing underclass and mass welfare dependency. This ground-breaking book provides the first comprehensive analysis of the reasons for this growth and subjects notions of welfare dependency and the underclass to empirical test.
