Heddiw, cyhoeddwyd rhan gyntaf ymchwil Cam 3. Nod yr adroddiad yw darparu sail dystiolaeth ar gyfer effeithiau posibl y diwygiadau lles ar y rheini â nodweddion gwarchodedig yng Nghymru. Fodd bynnag, mae'r sail dystiolaeth yn gyfyngedig ar gyfer rhai o'r effeithiau cronnol a'r effaith ar rai nodweddion gwarchodedig. Felly, lle bo modd, mae'r adroddiad hwn wedi ystyried effeithiau pob un o'r prif ddiwygiadau yn unigol ac mae'n canolbwyntio ar bedair nodwedd warchodedig (rhyw, pobl anabl, oedran a hil ac ethnigrwydd). Mae'n dadansoddi'r niferoedd yr effeithir arnynt, colledion incwm, effeithiau ar dlodi, cymhellion i weithio (h.y. cyfran yr enillion a gollir mewn treth a budd-daliadau a dynnir yn ôl) a chyflogaeth, ac ystyriaethau ehangach fel mynediad ar-lein.
Today, the first part of the Stage 3 research has been published. The report aims to provide an evidence base for the potential impacts of the welfare reforms on those with protected characteristics in Wales. However, the evidence base is limited for some of the aggregate impacts and for the impact on certain protected characteristics. Therefore, where possible, this report has looked at the impacts of each of the main reforms in isolation and focuses on four protected characteristics (gender, disabled people, age, and race and ethnicity). It analyses the numbers affected, income losses, impacts on poverty, work incentives (i.e. the proportion of earnings lost in tax and withdrawn benefits) and employment, and wider considerations such as online access.
