    Abstract

    Social welfare payments account for about 28 per cent of Exchequer current expenditure. How effective is this expenditure? To answer this question we must first know what the social welfare system is trying to achieve. Since the system in fact has multiple objectives, assessing its effectiveness is by its nature a complex exercise. However, one major aim is clearly directing resources to those in need, the alleviation of poverty: in this paper we concentrate on an assessment of the social welfare system in terms of this objective.
