Rise of insecure work puts families at risk
Research indicates that households receiving the Family Income Payment are economically vulnerable due to the rise of insecure work.
The research paper, Supporting low income working families: Enabling Resilience, also finds that “the weight of evidence favours the conclusion that FIS does support labour market participation”, and points to “an ongoing tension associated with FIS’s dual role as a measure to promote employment and as a child income support”.
