Working out of poverty: low pay, low skills and progression in rural communities
27 May 2008This event forms a key part of ippr’s Working Out of Poverty programme, which aims to develop the thinking and ideas needed to shape a full employment economy where working people and their families do not live in poverty.
ippr analysis suggests that there were over 1.5 million low paid employees working in rural areas in April 2006. The purpose of this event is to explore the particular challenges for individuals and businesses in rural communities in seeking to raise the supply of (and demand for) high skills, boost productivity and improve pay. Our aim will be to begin to identify policy changes and additional measures which would help develop higher performing, higher value rural economies.
