Lone Parent Obligations A review of recent evidence on the work-related requirements within the benefit systems of different countries, 02/02/10 [W/E]

This review of literature, published by the Department for Work and Pensions, is the first phase of the Lone Parent Obligations evaluation.

It considers the effect of similar international policy changes that have been undertaken with a view to informing the LPO evaluation, as well as future policy design and implementation.

It comprised a review of recent evidence-based literature and four case studies of comparator countries, selected because each offered aspects of policy and practice relevant to the extension of lone parent work-related requirements in Great Britain.

The report is available to download from the Department for Work and Pensions website.
