- 'For Whose Benefit' develops original insight generated from a qualitative longitudinal study that followed a small number of benefit recipients during five years of extensive welfare reforms. It provides rich, detailed empirical detail about the everyday experiences of people experiencing several waves of changes to their benefits, and develops new conceptual insight into areas of core concern to social policy: e.g. agency and poverty, the depth and extent of benefit stigma, and attitudes to welfare. The monograph details and benefits from a methodologically innovative approach; four waves of intensive qualitative data generation, the inclusion of radical and groundbreaking participatory elements.
