Gender, Work and Social Control: A Century of Disability Benefits by Jackie GullandEnglish | PDF,EPUB | 2019 | 250 Pages | ISBN : 1137605626 | 3.07 MB
This book uses previously unknown archive materials to explore the meaning of the term ‘incapable of work’ over a hundred years (1911–present). Nowadays, people claiming disability benefits must undergo medical tests to assess whether or not they are capable of work. Media reports and high profile campaigns highlight the problems with this system and question whether the process is fair.
