Excellent- More about Making a Life on Mean Welfare: Voices from Multicultural Sydney
This book explores how diverse welfare users navigate Australia's social security system, where benefits are deliberately meagre and come with strings attached.

We frequently hear that the public desires average welfare. Whether or not that is accurate, this book urges us to at the very least be truthful about what that entails. It investigates how various welfare recipients navigate the personal and practical challenges of Australia's so-called social security system, where benefits are purposefully meager and come with strings attached. Emma Mitchell, drawing on her own experience of belonging to a low-income family long reliant on welfare, conducts ethnographic fieldwork in a region of Sydney known for its ethnic diversity and socioeconomic disadvantage. This book demonstrates the diverse cultural resources that people bring to welfare encounters with a sensitivity and subtlety that are often lacking in both sympathetic and cynical accounts of life on welfare.
