  • A constant threat' A narrative exploration of the relationship between
           benefit receipt, mental distress and the threat of homelessness

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: UISCE JORDAN, DANIEL SAGE
      Abstract: Critical Social Policy, Ahead of Print.
      Resistance to housing and welfare reforms on economic, ‘practical’ grounds was shattered by the covid-19 pandemic, which demonstrated that where there is a will there is a way when it comes to providing housing. Despite a purported ‘right’ to adequate housing, many people in the UK face profound challenges accessing stable accommodation. Drawing from a biographical-narrative study, this article details experiences of men who have the right to adequate housing denied and thus experience housing insecurity. Subsequently, it explores how such insecurity exacerbates pre-existing mental health problems. The core argument of the article is that welfare reforms produced the sense of a constant threat of homelessness and destitution for the 17 male participants in the study who claimed sickness benefits. This sense of constant threat manifested itself through (a) the production of present homelessness at the time of the research and (b) and underlying anxiety, fear and threat of homelessness. The article contends that the UK social security system perpetuates the structural and emotional drivers of mental distress, creating a deleterious cycle of poverty, insecurity and ill-health, concluding that the provision of stable housing is an upstream intervention to improve mental health and reduce social exclusion.

  • Who deserves exceptions in times of crisis' A comparison of policy
           responses to mitigate negative consequences for unemployed people and
           immigrants during the COVID-19 pandemic

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Vilde Hernes, Anne Balke Staver
      Abstract: Critical Social Policy, Ahead of Print.
      The boundaries for whom the welfare state should protect during times of crisis are not necessarily obvious. Deservingness studies have identified unemployed people and immigrants as groups perceived as 'less deserving' of welfare state support than other groups in need during ‘normal’ times. These two groups have in recent years been subject to more conditional requirements and an incentivizing rationale. In this article, we compare the policy responses for 1) unemployed people and 2) immigrants during the COVID-19 pandemic in Norway form 2020–2022. We ask: Who deserves exceptions in times of crisis' We find that a cross-partisan parliament introduced extensive economic relief packages and temporary regulations to mitigate negative financial consequences for unemployed persons and furloughed workers. Politicians argued that individuals were not to blame for their unfortunate financial circumstances during the pandemic, and that the welfare state had to take the larger share of the burden. However, the government chose not to make temporary exemptions from economic requirements for permanent residence or family reunification. It was explicitly stated that there was no reason to deviate (temporarily) from the general economic requirements during the pandemic, referring to the potential strain on the Norwegian welfare state if immigrants were not self-sufficient. We argue that the political rationale of incentives underlying these requirements falls short during economic crises and that this non-policy response illustrate new forms of welfare state chauvinism.

  • Co-production in syringe service programs: Implementation in a changing
           organisational field

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: THERESA ANASTI
      Abstract: Critical Social Policy, Ahead of Print.
      Co-production in the human services is a way of working that includes the expertise of service users in service implementation. While co-production is often considered a net positive for the co-producing organisation, this can depend on how, with whom, and to what extent co-production is conducted. This study uses qualitative interview data from 26 employees at syringe service programs (SSPs) in a midwestern US state to examine how SSPs implement co-production, and how this challenges or maintains current power dynamics. As the structure of SSPs has been changing from a grassroots, peer-based model to one that includes the expertise of professional medical staff, it is important to consider what these changes might mean for co-production in the field. SSPs have a rich history of being peer-led, and this project uses interviews with SSP staff to determine how the transition into professional and bureaucratic organisations has affected co-production, and in turn, organisational power dynamics. Findings show that respondents reiterate the importance of co-producing services, although there are significant challenges in implementing co-production in an equitable and liberatory way. Staff (both peer providers and non-peer providers alike) remain enthusiastic about the role that peers play in the organisation and are able to acknowledge barriers in collaborative efforts. Implications for the use of co-production in rapidly changing fields is discussed.

  • ‘It's not really Michael who wears me out, it's the system’: The
           hidden work of coordinating care for a disabled child

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Kaja Larsen Østerud, Cecilie Høj Anvik
      Abstract: Critical Social Policy, Ahead of Print.
      The parents, especially mothers, of disabled children play a crucial role in coordinating care for their children. This article investigates families’ coordination work using qualitative accounts of the parents of disabled children in Norway. The theoretical concepts of the third shift, hidden work and a broad definition of care are applied. We present a typology of coordination work, consisting of writing, meetings, administration of services, learning, monitoring and emotional work. We describe three cases to show the nature and consequences of having to coordinate the everyday lives of disabled children. The findings show that coordination work is gendered, individualised and taken for granted in service provision. We argue that coordination work should be better recognised in social policy design for these families to provide adequate services and avoid reproducing social inequality.

  • Care theft: Family impacts of employer control in Australia's retail
           industry

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: NATASHA CORTIS, MEGAN BLAXLAND, SARA CHARLESWORTH
      Abstract: Critical Social Policy, Ahead of Print.
      Paid work promises pathways to financial security and wellbeing for families, yet variable scheduling and low pay can interfere with the routines and rhythms of family life, and contribute to caregiving challenges and stress. Using qualitative data from a survey of retail workers, this article shows how Australian employment policies have enabled flexibility practices to be strongly oriented around the needs of employers, reducing employees’ resources for care. We develop the concept of ‘care theft’ from employees’ accounts of the ways flexible scheduling and low pay converge to transform and deplete their temporal, financial and ethical resources for care. As an extension of ‘time theft’ and alternative to individualised notions of ‘work-family balance’, care theft helps make visible the ways employment practices strip resources for care from working people, and shift risk to low-income families and communities.

  • Weaponising time in the war on welfare: Slow violence and deaths of
           disabled people within the UK's social security system

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: China Mills, John Pring
      Abstract: Critical Social Policy, Ahead of Print.
      In 2014, a long continuing battle began to find out more about Government record-keeping on the deaths of disabled people claiming benefits. Drawing on a timeline of evidence co-produced with disabled people, we analyse how deaths related to the benefits system are an outcome of slow violence, where both the delay between policies and their harmful effects, as well as the more active use of delay tactics, are central to how the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) weaponise time as a strategy to avoid accountability and deny justice. DWP reviews into deaths are an under-researched yet significant focus because they are (supposedly) tools through which the DWP investigates the harms of its own policies, and yet, they are designed and carried out in a way that systemically invisibilise state accountability.

  • Attacking transnationalism and citizenship: British Bangladeshis, family
           migration, and the postcolonial state

      Abstract: Critical Social Policy, Ahead of Print.
      In July 2012, major changes to the family migration rules were made in the UK, severely restricting British and settled residents’ rights to sponsor non-EEA family members. However, little is known about how they have been experienced in practice, particularly by the South Asian families they target. Our article draws on policy and media analysis alongside original qualitative research to shed light on how the 2012 family migration rules have impacted British Bangladeshis, and with what consequences for their experiences of citizenship and the possibilities of them leading transnational lives. We argue that the rules amount to a raced, gendered, and classed ‘attack’ on both transnationalism and citizenship and suggest that, while transnationalism and citizenship are often analysed separately, they are in fact deeply intertwined.

  • Productive and hazardous: Investing in families in social policy

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Katharina Hajek
      Abstract: Critical Social Policy, Ahead of Print.
      Social investment has gained increasing prominence in family policy reform. It has also been widely criticised from a feminist and social justice perspective. This article examines how the meaning of the family changes when it is seen as a site of investment. Using a discourse-analytical approach and focusing on agenda setting policy documents of Germany's ‘sustainable family policy’ this is explored in four dimensions: the extension and simultaneous narrowing of the meaning of family; the articulation of new gendered subjectivities; a redefinition of the boundaries between the family and the state; and new modes of differentiation between families according to their ability to ‘produce’ human capital. I argue that the traditional family loses its role as a normative reference point and is increasingly framed as a production site of human capital. Hence, more critical engagement with social and racialized inequalities, which are implied in these discourses, is necessary.

  • Intersex equality, diversity and inclusion and social policy: Silences,
           absences, and erasures in Ireland and the UK

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Surya Monro, Sean Saifa Wall, Kate Wood
      Abstract: Critical Social Policy, Ahead of Print.
      Intersex people suffer human rights abuses and harms because of non-consensual early medical interventions. They have historically been rendered outside of welfare regimes and equality, diversity and inclusion policies, or forcibly subsumed within sex-binaried institutions. This article draws on critical intersex studies to interrogate the policy silences and collusions that have taken place regarding intersex people's suffering. Using Ireland and England as case studies, we show that current formations of equality and diversity policies are inadequate in relation to intersex issues. Analysis of policy documents from Ireland and the UK using Bacchi's method reveals the erasure and/or marginalisation of intersex people, despite some stated commitments to gender and sexual equality. We conclude that there is a pressing need for social policy work around intersex issues and for reform to support intersex people's equality, diversity and inclusion.

  • Care full deliberation' Care work and Ireland's citizens’
           assembly on gender equality

      Authors: CLIONA LOUGHNANE, CAROL KELLEHER, CLAIRE EDWARDS
      Abstract: Critical Social Policy, Ahead of Print.
      Ireland has become an international exemplar in the use of citizens’ assemblies to determine policy. Globally, deliberative fora seek to mitigate concerns of a democratic crisis, but they also may address the ‘care crisis’, where politics-as-normal seems unable, or unwilling, to address citizens’ care needs. Drawing on Tronto's (2013) call for a caring democracy in which citizens take their responsibilities to care with one another, this paper examines the potential for deliberative processes to deliberate ‘with’ as well as ‘about’ care and to expand current care work debates. Using Barnes’ (2012) ‘care full’ deliberation as an analytic framework, we document and interrogate the process and outcomes of Ireland's Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality (CAGE) (2020–21), particularly how it understood care work and responded to care workers’ needs. We then reflect on the potential for citizen deliberation to realise better caring outcomes for all citizens.
