Today Carers NI via the Carer Poverty Commission launches its latest report on supporting carers to remain in employment. The WPI Economics report looks at what support mechanisms could help carers overcome barriers to employment & what would help to lift them out of poverty.

🚨Unpaid carers save our health and social care system £5.8 billion every year in care costs. Today's report from WPI Economics shows that if we had access to paid carer’s leave and more flexible working, it could bring between 6,800-14,700 additional carers back to employment.

The Carer Poverty Commission report authored by WPI Economics also estimates that paid carer’s leave and flexible working could increase hours worked by carers by over 3 million per year.

NRPF is pushing migrants into poverty & failing in its own policy objectives, new analysis shows. 208,000 households covered by an NRPF condition are at risk of needing support to avoid destitution & 64,000 households are in poverty. The impacts are especially stark in London..

The report argues that NRPF is failing to meet its policy objectives and should be reformed, putting forward a package of recommendations to support the most vulnerable while retaining the principle of NRPF. Find out more and read the full report: bit.ly/3YHC4ox
