Inquiry into Poverty in Wales: in-work poverty

Inquiry into Poverty in Wales: in-work poverty

The Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee undertook an inquiry into poverty in Wales. The inquiry was divided into four strands, each focusing on one particular issue. Each strand was self-contained, with its own terms of reference, but taken together formed an overarching piece of work.

 

In the time available before the end of the Fourth Assembly the Committee did not have the opportunity to undertake an inquiry into this strand.

 

The Committee had agreed the following terms of reference.

 

To consider:

  • the trends and factors contributing to the high prevalence of in-work poverty in Wales;
  • the Living Wage;
  • financial inclusion and preventative approaches to tackling in-work poverty.

Business type: Committee Inquiry

Reason considered: Senedd Business;

Status: Complete
