Professor Mike Brewer, Professor of Economics at the Institute for Social and Economic Research, has been appointed to the “Economic Dependency and Worklessness” Working Group, one of six groups being convened by the Centre for Social Justice.
The group plans to publish a State of the Nation document in 2013 and a main report in Spring 2014.
Professor Brewer was previously a technical adviser to the CSJ during their investigation into the benefit system, which led to their report Dynamic Benefits – the basis for the Government’s Universal Credit reform.
