Join us @Demos on Wednesday for the launch of a new paper on how AI and technology can support a broader reform agenda for Liberated Public Services - part of Public Services 2030 Network led by @bengglover. I've read the paper and it's excellent - will be a great conversation!

Excited for publication of the 'Get Britain Working' White Paper tomorrow.

Great to see framing similar to @Demos recommendations - "change in our jobcentres from a one-size-fits-all benefit administration service to a genuine public employment service".

New from my colleague @NaemaMalik_ - why we think that Youth Employment Hubs should be part of the government's new strategy, which is due to be set out soon in the 'Get Britain Working' White Paper.

"We believe it is vital that these ‘Trailblazers’ build on the success of existing Youth Employment Hubs."

The UK is at risk of a lost decade in the labour market.

Employment rate growth in the 2010s has decisively come to an end. OBR's new forecast suggests the 16+ employment rate will be lower in 2030 than it was in 2019.

Lots for the Get Britain Working White Paper to address...

"In a thoughtful paper, the Demos think tank charts the impact of this crisis in local government finances on the social fabric of cities and towns... the result, conclude the paper’s authors, is a vicious cycle of social as well as economic decline."
