UK workers are stuck in a low-pay, low-productivity rut, with far
too many people working in poor quality, insecure jobs, with little
training or chance of getting on. Katy Jones and Ashwin Kumar
question the mantra that "work is the best way out of poverty" and
examine the in-work poverty that now defines employment for many.
The state's engagement with people out of work is shown to ignore
the needs of lone parents and disabled people, and has little
concern for skills and career progression. When coupled with the
degradation of social infrastructure, such as child care and
transport, the barriers to quality work can become insurmountable.
Jones and Kumar's insightful analysis reveals the need to move away
from positioning unemployment as a "behavioural problem" to be
corrected by coercive labour market policies to one that considers
the wider obstacles to better paid, quality jobs.
