“…Policymakers have relied in significant part on paternalistically informed normative justifications of mandatory activation schemes on the grounds that paid work is beneficial to well‐being and hence so too must be activation schemes that promote paid work. Such argumentation is empirically contestable (Whitworth and Griggs ) but, more fundamentally, misses the emerging need to shift and broaden the focus of current research and policy thinking on activation and well‐being to more fully address issues of process well‐being from participation in such activation schemes alongside the dominant emphasis on outcome well‐being from any employment transitions that may result. Theoretically, Jahoda's () latent deprivation theory and Fryer's () agency approach give different accounts of the non‐pecuniary benefits of paid work that offer important insights into ways in which employment activation has the potential to substitute for these employment effects and hence affect the process well‐being of the unemployed programme participants.…”

“…Subsequent changes increased the regularity of WFIs, with age of youngest dependent child again the determining factor for conditionality (DWP : 12). Overall, however, the intensity of activation remained comparably weak when seen from the vantage point of contemporary arrangements (Haux : 2–3; Whitworth and Griggs : 125–8; Whitworth : 827).…”

“…To accelerate the labour market entry of economically inactive benefit claimants, the Labour Government's attention turned to overhauling social security and active labour market programmes through commissioning two reviews. A review of welfare‐to‐work policy was commissioned in 2006, conducted by David Freud (the Freud Review: DWP ) (Hutton : 22), whereas a separate review into the structure and operation of benefit conditionality was commissioned, conducted by the academic, Professor Paul Gregg (the Gregg Review: Gregg ) (Whitworth and Griggs : 126). Each review could have been used as an opportunity for reflection and interrogation of the relative success or failure of UK activation policy directed towards lone parents.…”

“…Without recognising this in the implementation of welfare contractualism, austerity measures are rendered incongruous with policy ambitions for fiscal balance. Whitworth and Griggs (2013) contest the extent to which welfare to work conditionality is necessary, just or effective in the UK. In many respects, it is possible to conclude that the austerity imperative informing welfare contractualism also lacks internal and ethical coherence at the European level.…”
