Gregg and Harkness study highlighted in Research in Public Policy
Research from the Universities of Bath and Bristol suggests that single mothers are more likely to be employed, to enjoy greater financial security and to have improved mental health, thanks to a decade of government reforms. The research was led by Professor Paul Gregg at the University of Bristol’s Centre for Market & Public Organisation in collaboration with Dr Susan Harkness, Senior Lecturer in Social & Policy Sciences at Bath.
The study, which looks at the impact of government support for families with children from 1999 to 2009, is published in the current issue of Research in Public Policy .
