Talk: designing means-tested welfare procedures in government

Short talk from the tail-end of last year that I gave to the Administrative Fairness Lab’s webinar on the Energy Crisis, Fuel Poverty, and Administrative Fairness on digital means testing *

designing means-tested welfare procedures in government
12 challenges
The government doesn’t know who you are, how to pay you money or how to contact you
‘Data sharing’ is a flawed paradigm. There is a lack of common platforms and data infrastructure.
Most ‘technology’ in government is hard to change and is rarely changed

Thank you

* Not a judgement on if means-testing is good/bad and the social implications therein
