The connection of austerity with life expectancy is controversial. But there is at least one specific way in which funding cuts are likely to have worsened health outcomes https://www.economist.com/interactive/britain/2023/03/09/why-did-250000-britons-die-sooner-than-expected

Why did 250,000 Britons die sooner than expected?

Life expectancy in Britain has flatlined in the last ten years

@EwenSpeed This paper builds on the fantastic work of ppl like @profimogentyler , Ruth Patrick , Sharon Wright, @rikki_dean and we hope offers some strategic reflections that might help us move towards a positive reclamation of social security

@EwenSpeed Third, there are a number of difficulties with positively identifying with the label ‘out-of-work beneficiary’ (such as the transitory nature of this support) that undermines the scope for solidarity and collective action around reclaiming and resisting the social imaginaries which stigmatise out-of-work beneficiaries

@EwenSpeed Second, the social imaginary which constructs (a) patients and (b) out-of-work beneficiaries of means-tested social security is fundamentally different, and competing narratives regarding these beneficiaries are promoted by organizations that are structurally weak wrt govt

In a new paper in the Journal of Social Policy w @EwenSpeed, we explore why lived experience is largely absent from social security policymaking, esp when it is far more central to an allied area of the welfare state (health)? https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-social-policy/article/why-is-lived-experience-absent-from-social-security-policymaking/37646634A2BA40DF4F5F5D6AE05D926F#article

Our paper makes three connected arguments: first, the absence of lived experience is partially explained by a lack of effective accountability mechanisms countervailing the state’s influence on social security policy

This one is the result of years of work by various people; a paper that reads like a Russian novel: https://doi.org/10.31235/osf.io/j7r86

1 in 4 families who were benefit capped were also subject to the two-child limit. These families face significant barriers to work and these policies create additional hardship whilst undermining the purpose of the benefit cap (to get ppl into work).
Aaron ReevesDec 14, 2022
The 2-child limit and the benefit cap both reduce the generosity of social security, but these policies also interact with each other. A new and important briefing by
Kitty Stewart, Ruth Patrick, Mary Reader and Child Poverty Action Group explores this interaction. https://largerfamilies.study/publications/benefit-cap-two-child-limit-interact
Benefit changes and larger families

We are a group of university-based researchers investigating how families with more than two children are coping with the benefit cap or the two-child limit.
