Invest in jobs

How does this impact on Community Wellbeing? We all need to work, not only to be able to pay the bills, but to give us a sense of worth. Too many people are on appallingly low incomes, and zero hours contracts cause huge stress and uncertainty. Outlaw such contracts, challenge the gig economy and cap payments to big bosses and shareholders. Invest in public services and public transport to increase the number and quality of jobs. Hi Why should the Committee focus on this as part of their future work? It’s impossible for community wellbeing to be achieved when a large proportion of the community suffers from low and insecure incomes.

Points

Poverty levels in the country are shocking. More money should be spent on innovation. One successful patent can lead to employment for thousands.
