Welfare reforms over the past decade have affected the incomes, living standards and opportunities of many groups in society. Disabled people of working age have been particularly affected by changes to work and disability-related benefits, such as Access to Work and Disability Living Allowance. We know little however about the impact of these changes on disabled people who are in self-employment and business ownership. This pilot study, funded by Manchester Metropolitan University, aims to investigate the impact of welfare reforms on disabled self-employed people and business owners’ health and wellbeing, working practices and business performance.
The project is led by Dr Eva Kašperová, working with Professor Julia Rouse. For more details View flier or contact Eva at e.kasperova@mmu.ac.uk for more information
