Behavioural Poverty

The welfare debate is bedeviled by the failure to distinguish behavioral from financial poverty. The minimum income available to families on welfare is commensurate with those of families on average weekly earnings after tax, so why is there often less favourable outcomes among those on welfare? Lucy Sullivan puts forward an argument that behaviour induced by a reliance on readily-available welfare is a major contributing factor.
