Publisher's Synopsis

Winner of SPA Richard Titmuss Prize 2024.

Recent welfare reforms, based on austerity narratives and a gender-neutral rationale, have failed to recognise the ways in which women and men experience the different demands and rewards of paid employment and unpaid care.

This book draws on a wealth of qualitative longitudinal evidence to cast light on women's lived experiences of welfare and work. Giving voice to social security recipients, this book uncovers the hidden gendered bias of conditional welfare reforms to challenge dominant political discourses, policy design and practice norms.

It combines and develops three interdisciplinary perspectives - feminist analysis, lived experience and street-level bureaucracy - to offer a new understanding of British welfare reform policies and practice.
