  • Retain £20 Universal Credit lifeline and introduce four point plan to tackle single parent poverty after coronavirus

    The Government has been urged to introduce a four-point plan to tackle single parent poverty after coronavirus, as new research shows the pandemic has hit single parent families hardest.
  • Urgent action needed to fix apprenticeship levy and prevent ‘creeping rationing’ of training 

    Government must urgently reform the apprenticeship levy and provide additional funding to prevent the loss of up to 75,000 apprenticeships at SMEs. New data uncovered by Learning and Work Institute shows the assumptions that underpinned the apprenticeship levy are flawed.
  • Two in three workers support further increases in the minimum wage

    As the minimum wage increases by a record amount, new research shows overwhelming support for further rises to the wage floor in order to tackle low pay.
  • Urgent action needed to support transition to post-Coronavirus economy and protect low-paid Londoners

    Central government, the Mayor of London and local government must work together to support Londoners to adapt to a post-Coronavirus economy, as new research shows low paid workers in the capital have been hit hardest by the jobs crisis.
  • Can an ‘Opportunity Guarantee’ prevent a pandemic generation?

    What should an opportunity guarantee look like, and what should government bear in mind in designing this?
  • Rethink cut to Union Learning Fund and work with unions to level up skills after coronavirus

    The government has been urged to rethink the planned cut to the Union Learning Fund, and work with trade unions to re-train and upskill after the coronavirus crisis.
  • Extend and reform Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme to avoid ‘second wave’ of unemployment and help Britain back to work

    The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme must be extended for three months and reformed in order to prevent a ‘second wave’ of unemployment and support a phased return to work.
