Comptes-rendus des ateliers
Scribe’s report on workshops in strand 1, Inclusive Labour Markets
(After the first plenary session, the workshop was preceded by a short press conference
in the workshop venue, in which Margaret Hodge MP and a representative of the
Scottish Executive stated that the host city of Glasgow had had serious social problems
in previous decades, but now had good practice solutions in place. Employment has
risen since the 1990s, with the percentage of lone parents in work rising from 41% in
1997 to 57% now, above the UK average. Inclusion of older employees is now being
taken more seriously. Instead of focussing on benefits, the right to work is now the main
focus. Employment frees people from dependency on benefits, and a survey in Pollock,
Glasgow found that more employment resulted in better physical and mental health.
The UK is on target to halve child poverty by 2010 and end it by 2020, thanks to the
minimum wage, improved childcare and subsidies for housing, so this challenging target
is a realistic one.)
