2021/22년에 영국 정부는 혜택에 약 2,160억 영국 파운드를 지출할 것으로 예상되며 이는 전년도에 비해 약 3백만 파운드 증가한 것입니다. 25세 이상의 독신 실업자는 월 325파운드(439달러)의 혜택을 받습니다. 2022년 1월 영국 정부는 실업 수당을 청구하는 일부 사람들에 대한 규정을 강화하겠다고 발표했습니다. 현재 주정부 혜택을 받는 구직자들은 순전히 이전 직장과 비슷한 일자리를 찾기 위해 최대 3개월을 보낼 수 있지만 곧 4주로 단축될 것이라고 노동연금부가 말했습니다.

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
