Working-age Council Tax Reduction now varies wildly across Great Britain.

Many authorities now demand a minimum payment, recreating the Poll Tax problem of poor people being chased for money that is substantial to them, but marginal in terms of the public finances.

Council Tax liabilities are falling harder on poor workingage Britain than the pensioner population. For the elderly, all local authorities use a system based on the old Council Tax Benefit, which means a full rebate on the bill for the poorest pensioners, gradually tapered for those with slightly higher incomes. In England, however, town halls have sweeping discretion over the treatment of other groups. The map shows how huge numbers of authorities now demand a minimum payment, recreating the Poll Tax problem of poor people being chased for money that is substantial to them, but marginal in terms of the public finances. Meanwhile, in some other places, the minimum contributions are higher – as much as 50 per cent

Despite a rise in real-terms spending on social care since the 2010s, fewer people are able to access support.

Less than half of those who make new requests for adult social care support go on to receive it.
Figure 13 shows, less than half of those who make new requests for adult social care support go on to receive it, falling to under a third among workingage adults, and this proportion has been declining gradually since 2018-19 (from 45 per cent to 41 per cent). And as the proportion of requests being met with support has been falling, the number of requests received has been rising: from 1.9 million new requests in 2014-15 to a high of 2.1 million in 2023-24

Almost half of families with both a carer and a disabled member are in material deprivation.

These differences persist even after accounting for demographic and family characteristics such as age of the family members, region and number of children.
standards, Figure 8 shows that workingage families that include a disabled member are more likely to experience material deprivation than those without one. one-third (36 per cent) of families with a disabled person (and no carer) are materially deprived, and this rises to close to half (47 per cent) among those with both a disabled person and a carer. These differences persist even after accounting for demographic and family characteristics such as age of the family members, region and number of children

Getting working-age men back into the workforce "will require changes to welfare and disability systems to cajole people off those supports, as well as job training and other programs to help them get into the market." https://cis.org/Report/WorkingAge-Not-Working-1960-2024
Working-Age, but Not Working, 1960 to 2024 | @CIS_org
The share of U.S.-born men not in the labor force — neither working nor looking for work — has increased dramatically since the 1960s, particularly for those without a bachelor’s degree.
