Government Employment Strategy

It was even more interesting to see the Government response to that point. They said that the issue was not even about defining what sustainability in work was. All they said was that all the evidence was that the longer somebody stayed in work, the less chance there would be of their dropping out of the labour market again, and that that was the aim of the Government strategy. The Government never even sought to define ““sustainability””, so it was not even clear whether they thought 13 weeks’ employment meant sustainable employment.
