Download or read book Low Wage Work in the United Kingdom written by Caroline LLoyd and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2008-04-03 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United Kingdom's labor market policies place it in a kind of institutional middle ground between the United States and continental Europe. Low pay grew sharply between the late 1970s and the mid-1990s, in large part due to the decline of unions and collective bargaining and the removal of protections for the low paid. The changes instituted by Tony Blair's New Labour government since 1997, including the introduction of the National Minimum Wage, halted the growth in low pay but have not reversed it. Low-Wage Work in the United Kingdom explains why the current level of low-paying work remains one of the highest in Europe. The authors argue that the failure to deal with low pay reflects a policy approach which stressed reducing poverty, but also centers on the importance of moving people off benefits and into work, even at low wages. The U.K. government has introduced a version of the U.S. welfare to work policies and continues to stress the importance of a highly flexible and competitive labor market. A central policy theme has been that education and training can empower people to both enter work and to move into better paying jobs. The case study research reveals the endemic nature of low paid work and the difficulties workers face in escaping from the bottom end of the jobs ladder. However, compared to the United States, low paid workers in the United Kingdom do benefit from in-work social security benefits, targeted predominately at those with children, and entitlements to non-pay benefits such as annual leave, maternity and sick pay, and crucially, access to state-funded health care. Low-Wage Work in the United Kingdom skillfully illustrates the way that the interactions between government policies, labor market institutions, and the economy have ensured that low pay remains a persistent problem within the United Kingdom.

Book excerpt: Join Autumn as she unravels the secrets of her past and finds solace in a town where hidden truths are revealed, hearts are mended, and love blossoms against all odds... In the wake of an unexpected inheritance, Autumn Tucker seizes the opportunity to break free from her predictable existence and move to a small mountain town in the heart of Washington. Ignoring her usual overthinking, she embraces the unknown and the thrill of starting anew in Silver Ridge. Little does she know that her uncle's bequest holds more surprises than she ever imagined. Upon arriving at her late uncle's Bed and Breakfast, Autumn's excitement falters as she confronts the dilapidated state of the property. From peeling wallpaper to a broken banister, it becomes clear that her uncle's description of a B&B was a loose interpretation. However, despite the initial setbacks, Autumn falls in love with the town and finds herself drawn to the enigmatic and irresistibly attractive Joel North. Joel’s magnetic presence holds a secret allure and awakens a forbidden desire within Autumn, which she chooses to ignore. Yet, as she delves deeper into her family's past, she realizes that Silver Ridge holds more than just a quaint facade. Family secrets lurk beneath the surface, and Joel seems to hold the key to unlocking the truth. But there is one question he refuses to answer, leaving Autumn to navigate the mystery on her own. As Autumn embarks on the arduous task of rebuilding the old mansion, she begins to understand that her uncle's true gift lies in the revelations hidden within its walls. With every restoration, she uncovers more about her family's history and the life she thought she knew. Along the way, she must confront her deepest fears, trust her instincts, and decide if Joel is a mere distraction or the missing piece to her complicated puzzle.
