A System That Was Originally Designed To

After Years Of Piecemeal Reform The Current Welfare System Is Complex And Unfair.

If Britain Is To Have A Stable, Affordable Pension System, People Need To Work Longer, But We Will Reward Their Hard Work With A Decent State Pension That Will Enable Them To Enjoy Quality Of Life In Their Retirement.

By Measuring The Proportion Of Children Living With The Same Parents From Birth And Whether Their Parents Report A Good Quality Relationship We Are Driving Home The Message That Social Programmes Should Promote Family Stability And Avert Breakdown.

Work Is Transformative. It Gives You A Greater Chance Of A Greater Income. You Can Affect Your Life While You're Of Working Age, So You Have Scope And Opportunity. Pensioners Do Not.

For Those Who Are Able To Work, Work Has To Be Seen As The Best Route Out Of Poverty. For Work Is Not Just About More Money - It Is Transformative. It's About Taking Responsibility For Yourself And Your Family.
