This project aims to build an evidence base of the prevalence, causes and consequences of welfare stigma in Australia. Welfare policies and proposed reforms aim to reduce welfare expenditure, increase workforce participation, and promote personal and family wellbeing. However, stigmatising attitudes and discrimination towards those receiving welfare benefits may undermine these policy goals: reducing employment opportunities and causing poorer health and wellbeing. Through innovative experimental studies, the project plans to identify ways in which welfare policy can minimise stigma and promote employment. Project outcomes may provide an evidence base for the design of more effective welfare policy.

该项目旨在建立一个关于澳大利亚福利污名的流行率、原因和后果的证据基础。福利政策和拟议的改革旨在减少福利支出，增加劳动力参与率，并促进个人和家庭福祉。然而，污蔑对领取福利的人的态度和歧视可能会破坏这些政策目标：减少就业机会，导致更差的健康和福祉。通过创新的实验研究，该项目计划确定福利政策可以最大限度地减少耻辱和促进就业的方法。项目成果可能为设计更有效的福利政策提供证据基础。
