TOPIC: "Jobs & Pensions"
“It’s important that everyone has the opportunity and support to find a good job to help them get on in life. That’s why we’re doubling down on our Plan for Jobs with this new campaign to harness the talent of jobseekers and support employers to fill vacancies, find work and create new opportunities.”
(Rishi Sunak, Chancellor of the Exchequer, 27 January 2022)
The topic of "Jobs and Pensions" will pose questions such as:
- In what ways do you think the Government should increase support for microbusinesses?
- How could the Government and employers make it easier for people to progress in work?
- What steps should the Government take to help those who may need more support to work, e.g. people with disabilities or health conditions?
- In what ways could the Government help businesses to improve the recruitment and retention of older workers?
- How can the Government build on and engage with the increasing numbers of people saving into workplace pensions?
- How can the Government raise awareness about pension entitlements?
- Is there any other observation you would like to make?
