The ideology of austerity can be identified in the year of 2018, the year in which many European countries claimed a global and economic financial crisis, also known as the great recession. As Blyth (2013, P.2) defined “Austerity is a form of voluntary deflation in which the economy adjusts through the reduction of wages, prices, and public spending in order to restore competitiveness which is supposedly best achieved by cutting the state’s budget, debts, and deficits.” Governments do not implement austerity measures lightly. The procedures are only implemented in forced credit market circumstances. In the event in which European austerity occurred, many investors and investing countries were no longer confident in the capability in which these European countries could repay the government debt, to reassure the credit market these our conservative government implemented spending cuts and reducing budgets. As Described by Ferguson and Woodward, “The overwhelming majority of people who use social work services in Britain today belong to that fifth of the population officially designated as ‘poor’ and, as such, are likely to be most affected by rising prices and economic insecurity” (2009,P.2). This quotation shows a clear legitimate link between social work practice and austerity itself. Austerity evokes the neoliberal longing to emphasise a capitalist production of private markets, this being the drivers of growth within our conservative government’s future ideology to deregulate labour markets in turn of privatisation. Austerity allows capitalism to bloom and private sectors creep into control of our public sector. For example, privatisation of the national health service, a re-occurring subject discussed within the house of commons to date. Austerity measures generally increase unemployment as government spending falls. The system of austerity is one which was implemented on the basis of inequality, this affecting the most vulnerable individuals within society, whilst leaving the higher socio-economic group unharmed.
