The big challenges facing the benefits system
Manage episode 439116636 series 2781477
We’re looking at the benefits system and answering the questions likely being asked by government ministers: how can the rising costs of benefits be managed, and what changes could improve the system?
With disability and incapacity benefit caseloads rising and the Universal Credit rollout still ongoing, what options does the government have to address these challenges? How might frozen housing support and past cuts to working-age benefits be impacting the most vulnerable? Should the government abolish the two-child limit?
To tackle these questions, Paul is joined by Tom Waters and Carl Emmerson from the IFS.
