Summary:
This year’s State of the Nation report looks in detail at whether work is working for people in Scotland.
With the Scottish Government still off-track in meeting the child poverty reduction targets, action to reverse the trend of increasing levels of in-work poverty is more vital than ever. Women, disabled people and minority ethnic people in particular are at the eye of a storm of persistent low pay, unreliable and insufficient hours and a struggle to make ends meet. Of course, there are actions government can, and should, take to respond, but employers must hold up their end of the bargain in ensuring work is the sustainable route out of poverty that it should be.
