What sort of interventions are required to address barriers to employment, to reduce inactivity and support in-work progression?
This encompasses priorities around:

- ensuring that it pays to work, and supporting in-work progression
- supporting those facing barriers to work to reach their potential in the labour market via Sector-based Work Academy Programmes (SWAPs), In-Work Progression, support for older Jobseekers and the Youth Offer
