BBC Scotland Investigates

100 Years on the Broo (2011x8)

Air date: Sep 07, 2011

BBC Scotland marks a century of Britain's unemployment benefit. Love it or loathe it, whether it's an anniversary to celebrate or commiserate, it has changed Scotland forever. Sally McNair looks back at 100 years of hunger marches, means tests, job centres and calls to 'get on your bike' and asks if, after a century, unemployment benefit is about to disappear forever.
