Off to #thatLondon for #GoodTimesBadTimes @CASE_LSE to hear #JohnHills bust some welfare myths @RealLifeReform @SpeyeJoe #LSEwelfaremyth
Welfare myths being dispelled tonight- at least so I hope #LSEwelfaremyth
In 1989, an ITV gameshow called Spongers (hosted by Nicholas Parsons) explored lifetime use of welfare #LSEwelfaremyth #noreally- There are two groups in welfare discourse: us & them, strivers & skivers, lifters & leaners (AUS), taxpayers & scroungers #LSEwelfaremyth
- Snapshot suggests two nations but across us all we all pay in and we all take out #LSEwelfaremyth
The redistributive effect of welfare state in uk is slightly larger than in Sweden #inequality #LSEwelfaremyth
High earners= "the Sherriff of Nottingham". John Hills @ LSE #LSEwelfaremyth- Once you add in schools pensions and NHS the ins and outs even up, #LSEwelfaremyth and across our lifetime
John Hills speaking at the launch of Good times bad times @CASE_LSE #LSEwelfaremyth pic.twitter.com/pKGeFR6O0o- By the time you get to 60 you've paid in 2 houses worth and got 1.5 houses back - by end of life it's 3-3 #LSEwelfaremyth
#LSEwelfaremyth - typical household pays the value of 3 average house's worth of taxes and gets the same out - life cycle redistribution- The big redistribution in welfare state is from working age (taxes) to pensioners (NHS & pensions) #LSEwelfaremyth
- Labour focused on services children and health not cash benefits for working age #LSEwelfaremyth
Welfare state increasingly redistributing resources towards pensioners and away from families with children John Hill @ #lsewelfaremyth
Redistributive role of welfare state over life cycle still happening - but less at working age, more in retirement. #lsewelfaremyth
Hills: Cross-sectional pic of redistribution obscures that majority of transfers from working age people to old and young #LSEwelfaremyth- Many people on low incomes have highly erratic and changeable income due to hours, welfare system and childcare #LSEwelfaremyth #inequality
- John Hill: fewer than half of those who start receiving job seekers allowance stay on for longer than 2 months #lsewelfaremyth
John Hills: fewer than half of people on JSA stay on JSA for more than 2 months #LSEwelfaremyth pic.twitter.com/bGOngBJZ6a- This is quite a positive picture of the economy- even post recession, half of unemployed people are off JSA in 2 months #LSEwelfaremyth
People lives are complicated and tangled #LSEwelfaremyth pic.twitter.com/8kBTwe9CdO
