Workfare Advocacy

The “Rethinking Workfare” proposals by LEAP201 will address key gaps to better protect low-income families, and should be considered carefully by policymakers.

A welcome piece to weigh in on some of our policies and programmes, aimed at uplifting the lives of our lower-wage workers.
