Social security and dependence

David Piachaud

International Social Security Review, 1997, vol. 50, issue 1, 41-55

Abstract: There is increasing concern that social security creates dependence. The contingencies of most interest are unemployment, lone parenthood and disability. The relationships between each of these contingencies and the level of social security benefits are analysed cross‐nationally; in no case is there a systematic relationship. The paper then examines other factors that determine dependence on social security.
