Social Security Reform: Revisiting Henderson, Poverty and Basic Income
The 2018 Henderson conference will focus on how the social security system can more effectively respond to issues of poverty and inequality.
Over the course of two days, a variety of speakers will cover what key changes have taken place since the 1970s and the Henderson Poverty Inquiry – to the labour market, families and to the position of vulnerable groups – and will assess the effectiveness of how social security has responded. It will also canvas different options for reform, including proposals for some kind of a basic income in Australia.
Date: Thursday 15 – Friday 16 February 2018
Venue: University of Melbourne, The Spot Building, 198 Berkeley Street, Carlton
Further information and ticketing are available on the Melbourne Institute website.
