The Work Programme and the informal economy
21 Jun 2010
Community Links has just submitted two short briefing papers to the Department for Work and Pensions, looking at the Work Programme and the informal economy.
In the Work Programme paper, we share our experience of running the most successful New Deal project in London and the South East, and recommend how the new Work Programme should be structured so that it best serves jobseekers who have been unemployed for a long time.
The second paper makes the case for including a sound analysis of the informal economy in any review of the welfare system, since our experience is that considerably more people are working cash-in-hand than is currently assumed.
