The Dynamics of Social Assistance Receipt: Measurement and Modelling Issues, with an Application to Britain
Abstract
This presentation explores factors associated with receiving and moving off social welfare
benefits in Britain. There is much interest in the dynamics of receiving welfare and in
comparing these dynamics across countries. The research presented here models the
dynamics of receiving social welfare in Britain using data from the British Household Panel
Survey, and will discuss definitional, data, and modelling issues relevant for studies of these
dynamics in different countries.
