  • Summary

  • What is the state of employment in the UK? How many people are unemployed? Has this gone up or down since the pandemic and is enough being done to get people back into work? Guests • Nita Clarke, Involvement and Participation Association • Tony Wilson, Institute for Employment Studies In this podcast we speak to Nita and Tony about the labour market in the UK. What the post-pandemic labour market recovery has looked like, how the UK is faring compared to other OECD countries and what needs to be done to help people into work. We also ask the experts questions including: Who’s not in paid work and why? And what are the future trends? Is employment growth set to halve? What will an older population mean? What is being done on developing skills and improving the workforce? Where are the political parties offering in relation to improving this provision? How does conditionality work? Does it lead to more people in the workforce? The growth in insecure work. What does this mean in practice and have we seen any recent improvements in employment practice? To what extent can workers, especially those who are low-paid and in insecure work, enforce existing rights? What are the parties proposing to improve rights and reduce insecurity?
