- W4366266947 abstract "This article describes how current UK government policy affects two of the most vulnerable groups in our society, namely those on state benefits, and those seeking asylum. Drawing on personal experience and observation, government policy announcements, contemporaneous comment in journal articles and the popular media, it will set out the dichotomous strategies that currently govern policy-setting for these socially marginalised groups. Successive UK governments have, since the turn of this century, promoted employment as a key element in public health and welfare reform. Work has become synonymous with economic, social and moral improvement, a force for good that enhances health, lifts people out of poverty and strengthens communities. Worklessness, by contrast, is harmful to both physical and mental health, resulting in social exclusion and poverty. There is an assumption that any employment is better than none, with punitive benefit sanctions imposed upon the unemployed to push them into work at all costs, while those arriving in the UK to claim asylum find themselves looking through a glass darkly, at a society from which they are excluded: government policy does not allow them to work while their application is processed unless it has taken more than 12 months, despite the evidence that worklessness is known to have negative impacts on a range of health outcomes. It leads to poor mental and physical health, isolation and anomie, as skills are lost and opportunities for integration decline." @default.
