How abou...That graph is *mind-boggling*, Lindsay. <br /><br />How about this for a FAIR benefit policy? <br />No benefits to anyone aged under 20 (the sole exception being the "emergency unemployment benefit" for students who can't find work in the summer holidays. At least they are studying so I'm OK with them being on a short-term benefit). <br />No benefits for under-20s is GOOD for those people. It is GOOD for them to be forced to either work, train or study. <br /><br /> No welfare payments for more than 2 children, and no welfare for a child conceived or born while the mum is on a benefit. That would HUGELY cut the "welfare as a lifestyle" thing. <br /><br />I will BET that these measures would gain HUGE support across the country. They are *common-sense* and FAIR. They would MASSIVELY cut the benefit numbers. <br />The UK is already looking at the "no welfare for more than 2 children" policy. thor42noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-28601602414915820712014-01-16T18:44:28.831+13:002014-01-16T18:44:28.831+13:00"This is designed to make us believe that New..."This is designed to make us believe that New Zealand has an enormous problem of sole parents starting young and being on the benefit for years." <br /><br />It DOES! <br /><br />"It is a gross exaggeration to describe this as a huge dependency problem." <br /><br />It is NOT.
