Welfare to Work

Britain's workforce crisis has reached alarming proportions, with millions trapped in a cycle of unemployment or underemployment.

The root causes of this crisis are complex, stemming from long-term structural issues, a legacy of industrial decline, and rising health challenges.

At the heart of the proposed government reforms lies a bold ambition to reshape how Britain supports its workforce. However, while the intention to tackle economic inactivity is clear, the success of these plans hinges on a delicate balance between opportunity and support.

Recent figures reveal that three million households have no wage-earners, and nearly one million young people are neither working nor in education. These statistics point to a growing disconnect between the opportunities available and the barriers that prevent people from accessing them.
