Employing a fairer system: Improving the labour market for vulnerable groups

Research output: Other contribution

Abstract

The Employment Rights Bill sets out proposals to strengthen labour market protections, reduce welfare spending and tackle economic inactivity. It is positioned as a mechanism to deliver the broader policy objective to ‘make work pay’, which includes supply-side reforms designed to tackle unemployment and labour market inactivity. In this article, Mat Johnson, Jill Rubery and Eva Herman examine the likely impacts of the proposed reforms and whether they go far enough.
