| Annotation | Since 1997, the government has been pursuing a policy agenda to promote paid work, to make work possible and to make work pay. Wages play a major part, but are not the only factor, in lifting working households out of poverty. This study, by Jane Millar and Karen Gardiner, investigates the extent of low pay in the UK, and explores the relationship between individual low pay and household poverty, hours of work, benefits and tax credits and other sources of household income. Their analysis is based on the Family Expenditure Survey (FES, now called the Expenditure and Food Survey, or EFS) for the years 1994/95 to 2000/01. Their full report, "Low pay, household resources and poverty", is published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF), and is available from York Publishing Services. (RH). |
