A new report from the Joseph Rowntree foundation -
Examining poverty, work sustainability and progression among low-skilled workers.
Government policy emphasises paid work as the best route out of poverty and skills policy as part of the way out of recession. Yet even before the recession, concern was growing about job sustainability for low-skilled workers and the lack of opportunities for progressing out of low pay.
This study:
examines low-skilled workers' experiences of work retention and progression; and
offers suggestions for future policy on work sustainability.
