Jobless Britain: One in five homes relies entirely on benefits
The number of households in which nobody works for a living rose to more than three million this summer, official figures revealed yesterday.
Among them were a growing number of lone parent families – the first increase in the figure for single parent homes entirely dependent on benefits in five years.
The statistics point towards a failure for Labour’s policy of spending billions on benefits, childcare and incentive schemes intended to persuade those without jobs – and single mothers in particular – into employment.
How can anyone imagine that this level of unemployment is economically sustainable? Its not surprising though, with the cost of living and taxation so high it’s a futile existence in the lower (and middle) middle-class bracket. For decades now the middle-classes have been subsidising the fertility of those poorer than themselves through taxation, forcing them to have smaller families on their budget, so in a reverse Darwinian sense this has been a self-fulfilling social programme.
