Nice work if you can get it: Achieving a sustainable solution to low pay and in-work poverty
We've been pleased to support the publication of ‘Nice Work if You Can Get it: Achieving a sustainable solution to low pay and in-work poverty’ by IPPR.
Low pay and in-work poverty are persistent features in some rural labour markets. In-work poverty is increasing and this highlights a need to address the prevalence of low skilled, low paid jobs in rural areas.
We also endorse IPPR’s call for a Government strategy on low pay and in-work poverty to prepare for economic recovery and boost social mobility. The Government’s on-going reform of the employment and skills system is an important step in tackling some of these inequalities in rural areas.
