The non take-up: definition and typologies

ODENORE Observatoire des non-recours aux droits et services [LE NON-RECOURS : DEFINITION ET TYPOLOGIES]

Philippe Warin

Résumé

Originally, non take-up was a term applied specifically within the context of financial social benefits, which is why the original definition for non-take up was all persons or households entitled to receive financial social benefits who are unaware of their entitlement. In the United Kingdom, in which the term non take-up of social benefits originated, this phenomenon was first identified in the 1930s, and clearly coincided with a political preoccupation with ensuring that social security, particularly when targeted at specific sections of the population (means-testing benefits), was being correctly allocated. Even if the debate surrounding non take-up has different origins across different countries, it has always been a sign of political concern over the issue of effectiveness of social spending, the difference between planned versus actual impact, and most importantly, that the benefits on offer actually reach those they are intended for.
