Key points
- Tax and benefit reforms will fail to tackle poverty unless the lower end of the UK labour market is addressed.
- The UK has a higher number of low-paid, low-skilled jobs than most developed countries and companies must be encouraged to compete more on quality and less on cost.
- There must be greater demand for skilled workers from employers, as well as more focus on staff progression and putting existing skills to use.
