Sozialleistungen und ihre (Nicht-)Inanspruchnahme

'Social Benefits and their (Non-)Take-Up': In order to understand why social benefits are used or not used, it is necessary, on the one hand, to map these benefits in terms of their considerable structural and effect variance and, on the other hand, to consider individuals in terms of their considerable psychosocial variance. This volume develops a theoretical model of a social benefits system as a framework for action for institutions and individuals, and an empirical research program to investigate patterns of (non-)take-up.
