‘Drift’ is one form of welfare state change and retrenchment; policies remain unchanged, but the wider social context changes. This chapter shows the suite of benefits around children remained substantially unchanged over a long period; ideas had little influence, and crisis induced policy changes did not alter the overall policy design.
