This is a discussion paper for reforming Welfare To Work at both Scottish and UK level. It looks at the Benefits System and produced recommendations for improvement. The topic is similar to a report produced in October 2004 by Social Enterprise Partnership about the situation in England, called "Addressing disincentives to work associated with the welfare benefits system in the UK and abroad". Leona McDermid, author of Bridging The Gap therefore wrote another document to analyse the two approaches taken in these two reports. Her conclusions appear in "Different routes, same destination".
