Recent welfare reforms in the United Kingdom have redrawn the parameters of active labour market policy (ALMP).
Drawing on insights from 124 semi-structured qualitative interviews with employers and policy stakeholders, the seminar explores employer perspectives on Universal Credit, ‘in-work conditionality’, and how employment services could better support not only work entry but the progression of workers on a low income.
