Income management is...wrong on many levels: It starts with the wrong assumptions, that the spending of income recipients is the problem. It can undermine recipients’ capacities to make their own choices. It costs a lot per person to administer, which could be better spent on other services. It reduces the focus on external problems - such as job seekers greatly outnumbering jobs and employers prejudices affecting work prospects. It blames the most vulnerable and reinforces their lack of self-worth and hostile public views, both social determinants of ill health.
