This project will achieve a paradigm shift in comparative social protection research. Previous research has focused almost exclusively on income or work, but this ignores broader, crucially important claimant experiences: some systems may provide dignity, a sense of security, and feel fair; others may leave people stigmatised, insecure, and feeling unjustly treated. These experiences are important in themselves and crucial for understanding the impact of social protection on health and work.I will study experiences across five welfare regimes (Norway, UK, Spain, Hungary and Estonia), to meet four objectives.1. Creating a new interdisciplinary framework for understanding what 'claimant experiences' are, working with claimants themselves, to provide a platform for the project.2. Conducting comparisons of claimant experiences across countries. This uses mixed-methods, including innovative qualitative methods (see below) and the first-ever quantitative comparisons of experiences. Surveying claimants is extremely challenging, so I innovatively combine (i) a telephone survey of 1,150 claimants to get robust comparisons, capturing people who are digitally excluded; and (ii) a larger, cheaper, online longitudinal survey of 7,000 claimants, to investigate inequalities between claimants.3 & 4. Building and testing new theories on (3) how policies influence experiences (4) and the impact of these experiences on health and work. This uses the longitudinal survey above and also innovative, in-depth qualitative research with 75-90 claimants over 6mths. This allows me to explore mechanisms in detail via (i) conventional interviews; (ii) digital methods that allow respondents to log every interaction they have with the system; and (iii) conducting rapid follow-up interviews after key interactions. This research will take academic research on social protection in new directions, providing vital evidence on how social protection can deliver dignity, security and justice.

该项目将实现比较社会保护研究的范式转变。以前的研究几乎完全集中在收入或工作上，但这忽略了更广泛、至关重要的索赔经历：一些系统可能会提供尊严、安全感和公平感；有些系统可能会提供尊严、安全感和公平感；有些系统可能会提供尊严、安全感和公平感；有些系统可能会提供尊严、安全感和公平感；有些系统可能会提供尊严、安全感和公平感。其他人可能会让人们感到耻辱、不安全和感觉受到不公正的对待。这些经验本身很重要，对于理解社会保护对健康和工作的影响至关重要。我将研究五个福利制度（挪威、英国、西班牙、匈牙利和爱沙尼亚）的经验，以实现四个目标。1。创建一个新的跨学科框架来理解什么是“索赔人经历”，与索赔人本身合作，为项目提供一个平台。2．对各国索赔人的经历进行比较。这使用了混合方法，包括创新的定性方法（见下文）和首次对经验进行定量比较。对索赔人进行调查极具挑战性，因此我创新性地结合了 (i) 对 1,150 名索赔人进行电话调查，以进行强有力的比较，捕捉那些被数字化排除在外的人； (ii) 对 7,000 名索赔人进行规模更大、成本更低的在线纵向调查，以调查索赔人之间的不平等。3 和 4. 建立和测试关于 (3) 政策如何影响经历 (4) 以及这些经历对健康的影响的新理论和工作。该研究使用了上述纵向调查以及在 6 个月内对 75-90 名索赔人进行的创新、深入的定性研究。这使我能够通过（i）传统访谈详细探索机制； (ii) 允许受访者记录他们与系统的每一次互动的数字方法； (iii) 在关键互动后进行快速后续访谈。这项研究将把社会保护的学术研究引向新的方向，为社会保护如何实现尊严、安全和正义提供重要证据。
