Hidden Voices : Lived Experiences in the Irish Welfare Space PDF
by Joe (Trinity College Dublin, The University of Dublin) Whelan
Part of the Key Issues in Social Justice series
Description
Underpinned by the idea of the right to a ‘basic minimum’, welfare states are a major feature of many societies.
However, the lived experiences of persons seeking and receiving welfare payments can often be overlooked. This book seeks to remedy this omission by honouring lived experience as valuable, insightful and necessary.
It draws on qualitative interviews with 19 people receiving various working age welfare payments in Ireland to explore stigma, social reciprocity and the notions of the deserving and undeserving poor, and to analyse welfare conditionality in the Irish context. Breaking new ground, this book offers original research findings which contest and inform policy both within Ireland and beyond.
