Results; Table 2, column 'Men', row 'MIG x Post'
Overall, mental wellbeing in men showed signs of improving after the introduction of MIG (a GHQ-12 lower score by 1.84 points, 95% CI: −3.86, 0.23), but no change in mental wellbeing after the introduction of the MIG was observed for women.
Contexto
What changed: Real pension incomes of low-income UK pensioners were raised by about one-third through the Minimum Income Guarantee in 1999. Comparison: Low-income pensioners receiving MIG compared with low-income pensioners not claiming MIG before and after reform. Limits: Relies on self-reported survey measures of wellbeing, small sample sizes when stratified by area deprivation, and non-random take-up of benefits.
