Making employment work
With unemployment rising again, and the resulting poverty and dependence on welfare that it brings, the Government’s intervention to help those most in need of work seems to be failing.
Poor initial results and criticism by MPs highlight the need to go further to find employment for Britain’s most disadvantaged.
Despite a payment system designed to eliminate the practice of ‘parking’, evidence suggests this is still occurring. This cannot be allowed to continue, and perhaps a dose of reality about the programme could help it to be modified and improved.
While the truth of the scheme’s efficacy may be discouraging, false positivity could more damaging.
