household with disability has

moved into work between Jan

2016 and Jan 2017

move into work than households

claiming Jobseekers Allowance

What can be done to reduce this gap

Look at improvements made with lone parents

bull In 1996 51 of all lone parents households were out of work

bull This figure dropped to 37 in 2015 a 41 reduction

Resolution Foundation (2016) Employing new tactics

ldquoThe success in increasing rate of employment among parents and single parents especially is down to a series of government policies implemented since 1997 until today ldquo

Regulation

Extension of

periods to 52 weeks

Disability is the toughest barrier to overcome

Efforts to close the gap focused primarily on the supply side

bull Financial support is there Permitted work under ESA work allowances under UC Are these communicated to claimants

bull Conditionality has been introduced under ESA and WampH adds an element to this

bull Regulation is lacking

bull Focus should also be on the demand side-Incentives for private employers to hire disabled employees

-Provide more guarantees to employees who fall sick (extend Statutory Sick Pay to 52 weeks)

-Wage subisdies

202020

WampH Programe represents a unique opportunity to trial innovative solutions to this issue at the local level (London amp Manchester)

Monitoring the progress of programme will be critical

Longitudinal analysis of household-level data allows to assess the success of these interventions

Policy in Practicersquos approach shows that this can be done at scale We welcome any suggestions on how we could apply it to the context of the Work amp Programme

Next Steps

1 Second round of data collection (July)
