SVP Submission on Working Family Payment 2017
SVP welcome the opportunity to make a submission to the Department of Social Protection on the proposed Working Family Payment. We highlight that well-designed in-work income supports, when delivered in conjunction with measures to tackle childcare and housing costs, are essential for making work pay for low income families. We recommend that such supports should be structured in a way that improves the living standards of all family compositions and facilitates progression to higher paid employment.
