Work Programme

In our current Work Programme we build on the strategic objectives of our most recent Strategic Plan (2005-2007):

• To promote a fairer distribution of income and employment by providing evidence-based advice on tax, welfare and employment policies

• To develop and promote policy proposals for people in poverty to have access to quality health and education services

• To support local and regional responses to poverty.

While incorporating some new elements, our Work Programme continues areas of work such as local government, health, community development and financial exclusion. It will also attempt to consider these issues in a fresh way and in the context of the new policy environment.

New work includes a study of the addiction services available for low income groups, policy proposals on pension reform, a study on barriers to better education and a pilot study of community workers in Ireland.
