Abstract

Benefit sanctions encourage job-seeking behaviour, successive governments have claimed. Yet in the case of single parents, sanctions actually move parents further from work, write Sumi Rabindrakumar and Laura Dewar. They draw on Gingerbread's research to show how parents are often penalised despite seeking work, caught out by unrealistic expectations from jobcentres and poor administration.
