Which Social Welfare Policy Did Margaret Thatcher NOT Implement?

The correct answer is A. Reducing unemployment. While reducing unemployment was a goal of Thatcher's economic policies, it wasn't a direct component of her social welfare reforms. In fact, unemployment rose sharply during the early years of her time in office.

Thatcher's social welfare reforms were characterized by a drive to reduce government spending and dependency. This led to policies such as:

• Reducing child benefits: This involved freezing and later reducing the real value of these benefits.* Lowering old age pensions: Similar to child benefits, the real value of old age pensions was also reduced.* Shortening the period of unemployment benefits: This measure aimed to incentivize people to find work faster and reduce government expenditure on unemployment support.
