The Implications of Individual Budgets

Abstract

This article outlines the idea of an individual budget, which is now being promoted and tested by central government. It defines the idea, and describes the practical and policy consequences that may flow from its implementation. It also sets out some of the policy choices that will necessarily emerge from these developments. This article follows on from the earlier article in JIC (February 2005), which was the first article ever published on the subject.
