Tom Stephens wrote for the House Magazine at PoliticsHome about the new PM’s plans to rebuild the jobs market:
“For too long, the UK’s labour market policy has focussed on a very narrow range of interventions, founded on the myth that those who are out of work are simply not willing to find a job. This has clearly not worked. Upcoming research from the New Economics Foundation (NEF) will show how the rise of precarious and insecure work is helping drive people out of the workforce.”
