2010年上台的联合政府正在实施前所未有的福利改革。这些措施的效果是大大减少了对各种低收入和失业家庭的付款。本文考察了改革对地方和区域的影响,展示了国家改革在不同地方的影响如何截然不同。总的来说,福利改革对衍生地区的影响最大,并正在扩大英国最好和最差地方经济之间的繁荣差距差距。
The Coalition government that came to power in the UK in 2010 is implementing unprecedented welfare reforms. These have the effect of substantially reducing payments to a wide range of low-income and out-of-work households. This article examines the local and regional impact of the reforms, showing how national reforms have a sharply different impact in different places. Taken as a whole, the welfare reforms affect derived areas most and are widening the gap in prosperity between the best and worst local economies across the UK.
