2021/22 年に、英国政府は約 2,160 億ポンドを給付に費やすと予想されており、前年と比較して約 300 万ポンドの増加です。 25 歳以上の失業者 1 人は、毎月 325 ポンド (439 ドル) の給付金を受け取ります。 2022 年 1 月、英国政府は、失業給付を請求する一部の人々に対する規則を強化すると発表しました。現在、州の給付金を受け取っている求職者は、以前の仕事と同様の仕事を純粋に探すために最大 3 か月を費やすことができますが、これはまもなく 4 週間に短縮されると労働年金省は述べています。

The punitive restrictions should be less harsh, and used only when all other potential situations have been fully explored and reasonably implemented.
The financial assistance offered should be raised to a sensible level (one where people aren't left in needless poverty), and there should be more practical support than just financial aid offered to those that need it.

There's no easy answer to benefits. SOme people in dire need slip through the cracks, other learn to play the system. And sudden cut-off caps and limits discourage people from moving into the jobs market because a little improvement in wages leads to a huge cut in benefits

minimum wage should be significantly increased (perhaps varying by job type) in return no benefits paid to workers but instead money paid to businesses as a per employee-on-mimimum-wage incentive. The incentives to a businesses would reduce as the businesses became more profitable.
There are several issues that have been rolled up in this issue. Firstly it is not about how much is spent on welfare benefits it is about what those on welfare need to survive. Poor housing leads to poor health physical and mental - However the cost of housing bears no relationship to its quality. We need to build council houses in expensive areas with rents affordable to people of limited means; Given we may never be able to build enough such house the actual rent charged should be means dependent.
The government should not be subsidizing private Industry but insisting that pay their staff a living wage. This would reduce the benefits bill. However all children, no matter the size of their family should get support from the state to ensure that they are not impoverished
