Work and pensions secretary Liz Kendall has said the DWP will focus on tackling “economic inactivity,” aiming to boost employment with their new ‘Back to Work’ plan.

Work and pensions secretary Liz Kendall outlined her ‘Back to Work’ plan shortly after the election, outlining the government’s aim to focus on “economic inactivity”. “We’ll create more good jobs, make work pay, transform skills, and overhaul job centres, alongside action to tackle the root causes of worklessness including poor physical and mental health.” However, since coming into power the government has been criticised for refusing to lift the two-child benefit cap, which campaigners say is keeping nearly a million children in poverty.
